Geotagging support in future versions of TP?
« on: 2018-03-27 07:34:08 »
Hi folks, I am considering investing into a good DAM software and after checking 6-7 different programs feel that TP suits my needs better than competitors.
However, before putting significant amount of money into perpetual pro license I would like to know if Cerious has geotagging functionality at least in road-map fro TP 11?
For me it is the most important missing feature and it would be great to be able to see photos on the scalable G-map within the application in the way it's implemented e.g. in Digikam or Paintshop Pro.

I agree that would be a great feature to have, but no announcements about v11's functionality have been made yet (that I know of).

Alternatively, if you have an external app that can do this, you can make a button for it in TP's toolbar, so the app will be launched with the file under the cursor when you press the button. Not as fast or convenient, but maybe an acceptable work-around.

Daan, thank you for reply and suggestion! Looks like I have to keep PSP for creating screenshots of actual image displayed next to the satellite view of the map. I was hoping that AcdSee 2018 (which has built-in mapping) can be on pair with TP but it fails short in terms of speed and features.

Hummm .. what program should I look into to get this ability. I am assuming geotagging means taking the gps out of the image metadata sn then showitn an icon on a map and showing the photo on a satelite or map view????

No, in contrary - it means adding the geographical coordinates of where the photo was taken to its metadata.

Some cameras (and many smartphones) do this automatically. Many others don't, and then you have to use a smartphone app or a dedicated GPS logging device to keep track of your location while you shoot images. The geotagging program can then use that data to geotag your image files.

Google will show many suggestions.

Check out IMatch from Photools.com another DAM.

Reverse geotagging is standard
