Tips on workflow with Android GPS app and Digikam geodata?
 
|
Hi all
Just wondering if someone have come up with a good easy workflow or solution on how to use the GPS in an Android smartphone to store geolocation data and then export and merge data with pictures taken with a SLR (Nikon in my case) on location so I can have that meta data with them in Digikam? I don't have or think that I want to buy a GPS gadget for my Nikon but thought that it might be some easy, handy and clever way to use my Android GPS with my SLR. One way is to export locations one by one from some map/gps app but that is rather cumbersome. Would be nice if there were a special app or some way to do this in a batch way. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Happy digikaming!

Please forgive my shameless plug, but can this be of help?

Hello Philip, I personally use viewranger for this purpuse as well as for outdoor "navigation". Each time I start taking photos I start viewranger on my android, start recording a track and afterwards I can export all tracks relevant to a GPX file and use digikam to assign the GPS data to my photos based on photo creation time. Since I sometimes use bibble for raw photo file processing instead of digikam I wrote a simple script that assigns the GPS data from a GPX file to bibbles sidecar (.xmp) files and thus if I generate a jpg from the raw file in bibble and look at this file later on in digikam I see where this photo has been taken, since bibble includes the GPS info from its sidecar file into the EXIF section of the jpg. More about this here : http://www.krienke.org/technologyblog/23-bibblegps.html Have a nice day Rainer -- Rainer Krienke, Uni Koblenz, Rechenzentrum, A22, Universitaetsstrasse 1 56070 Koblenz, http://userpages.uni-koblenz.de/~krienke, Tel: +49261287 1312 PGP: http://userpages.uni-koblenz.de/~krienke/mypgp.html,Fax: +49261287 1001312 _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Thanks for the tips!
Maybe it's easier than I thought then. Must admit that I haven't looked into the GPX file import feature enough. If Digikam is smart enough to sync geolocation data with time then it should be a piece of cake. Have to try it out this weekend. /Philip _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

In digikam you find the Geolocation tool to be found in menu image- >geolocation. There you can open a GPX track file and then have digikam correlate your photos with the track data by using time and date in the photos and the track.

Worked like a charm using the way in Dmitris blog but I ended up using
the My Tracks app from Android Market to record my little photographing stroll yesterday and then export the GPX-file from My Tracks. Nifty and fun feature that makes a GPS gadget for my camera obsolete. Happy digikaming!

Open GPS Tracker is smaller and it uses OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps. But, you can use whatever GPS logger/tracker app you like as long as it supports the GPX format.

Hi Dmitri,
Thank for the respons. What I realy would like if the maps could be used offline. Do you know if OpenStreetMap can do so. Mapdroid can but is there a tracker associated with?

I use Locus. It allows to download selected area and use map offline. Also has GPS tracker On Oct 10, 2011 4:04 PM, "sleepless" <[hidden email]> wrote:

Thanks Larry and Dmitri for the tips, I will try and see.
Btw Google maps can do it: 16 km around a choosen location with a maximun of 10 saves. Useless!

Philip,
Google MyTacks saves track and waypoint data in comma delimited or in KML format, ready for Google Earth. The challenge is pairing photographs with individual waypoints. In MyTracks you can name and describe waypoints, so if you use the image ID on your Nikon when you name each waypoint you should be ok??? Mytracks is not optimal, but it is quite workable?? There are several KML to GPX converters around to create output that DK can understand?? (e.g http://www.gps-data-team.com/convert.php). I must immediately add that I have not yet followed the whole route from MyTracks to DK, mostly because I am waiting for the next Ubuntu LTS so that I can upgrade KDE and hence DK.

You can use gpsbabel to convert kml or text files to GPX, which digikam can use to automatically geotag your images. Just make sure to adjust if your camera time is not in sync with sattelite time, but there is a gui for that in digikam. You can download gpsbabel from www.gpsbabel.org, on linux use the gebabbel frontend if you want to avoid typing shell commands.

Hi Willem,
I think that reopening a very old discussion causes some confusion here. At this moment Philip did not participate, he only brought it up months ago. But My tracks and dk is a great combination, mytracks outputs a gpx which is suffucient to dk to link your photoś to the appropriate location. My point here was to lay the track over a map while being offline.

Hi All,
I ended up with osmand, it allows downloading maps and it accept formerly created gpx files. Locus looks very promising too, but this does the trick I need, so I will stick here for the time being. Thanks for the help!
