This is my vision about GPS info in digiKam :

I'm agree with you. GPS info can be important for pro-photographs.

But how many digital camera support GPS extension ? How many photograph use this feature ?

I'm sure that GPS will become a standard tool in the future. GPS is generalized tool.

If digiKam users vote for this entry, we can plan any jobs for the future :

To 0.9.0, a new metadata side bar tab will be avaialble instead the simple Exif dialog.

Exif, Marker note, and IPTC info will be availalble (in read only on the first time).

I would to add a GPS tab in this metadata sidebar to display GPS info position and a simple world map to locate the position in the world (There is a widget to do it in Xglobe app). If you want more informations about world position a button can be used to send GPS info to www.mapguest.com service, like this :

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&formtype=address&latlongtype=decimal&latitude=43.2724&longitude=3.51848

Any comments welcome....

That would be great toy :)

Some KDE apps have simple world map - for example KMail to display
position of contact.

Another great app to display position on globe map is
http://xplanet.sf.net .

Also nice feature would be writing position to photo info by pointing on
map, just writing name of location (and translating it to coordinates
- KStars has looong list of cities with coordinates). That wouldn't be
so precise as real GPS but "good enough" replacement for people without
that feature.
