April 17th 07 : What to do with your geocoded pictures: Picasa to Kmz export mini-tutorial

GPicSync automatically inserts location in your photos metadata so they can also be used with any 'geocode aware' application like Picasa/Google Earth, Flickr, loc.alize.us, etc.

Features:

• automatically geocode your photos (EXIF header)
• use any GPS tracklog in the universal GPX format
• create a Google Earth KML file to directly visualize the geocoded photos and track in Google Earth
• create a Google Earth KMZ file (containing your geolocalized pictures and tracklog).
• add additional geonames and 'geotagged' metadata (for automatic tagging in Flickr for example)
• rename your pictures with their date and location
• handy tools integrated (Time correction, EXIF reader, GPX inspector, etc)

Few examples of pictures geolocalized with GPicSync:

• A bike ride in the vignard as seen in Yahoo maps of Flickr or the exported kmz file from Picasa (opens in Google Earth)
• One of my lunch breaks geolocalized (as seen in loc.alize.us which use Flickr and Google maps)
• Picassa kmz exports of some of my bike rides on a 'My maps'(see tutorial)
• A Google Earth KMZ file around Strasbourg (generated by GPicSync 'KMZ Generator' tool)
• First test while mountain biking (as seen in loc.alize.us)
