Title: How to show photo-location from GPS-EXIF-Header in Google Maps?
Post by: pstein on July 10, 2020, 02:19:20 AM
When I take photos with my digicam resp. SmartPhone then the current gps location is put into the corresponding Exif-Header fields of the *.jpg file.

What I need now is a way to visualize/show this position later on a map in GoogleMaps.

Therefore ExifFool GUI (or cmdline tool) should offer a menu/cmdline option to open the embedded location in GoogleMaps in the default browser (e.g. Firefox).

How can I do this in detail?

If ExifTool does not offer this feature then maybe someone could recommend me another tool which do the job.

ExifTool should add this feature.

GPS-Exif-Header fields would be otherwise useless.

Thank you
Peter

Therefore ExifFool GUI

As is mentioned in the stickied post (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=4553.0), the exiftool GUI is no longer supported.

Quote(or cmdline tool) should offer a menu/cmdline option to open the embedded location in GoogleMaps in the default browser (e.g. Firefox).

While it doesn't open up a browser, I did create a config file (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=9862.msg51226#msg51226) that will output URLs to various mapping sites.

Example output:
Code Select
C:\>exiftool -config GPS2MapUrl.config -g1 -a -s y:\!temp\Test4.jpg  -*maps*
---- Composite ----
BingMapsUrl                     : https://bing.com/maps/default.aspx?cp=40.6892~-74.0445&sp=point.40.6892_-74.0445_.
GoogleMapsUrl                   : https://www.google.com/maps/search/?q=40.6892,-74.0445
MapquestMapsUrl                 : https://www.mapquest.com/?q=40.6892,-74.0445
OpenStreetMapsUrl               : https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=40.6892&mlon=-74.0445
YandexMapsUrl                   : https://yandex.com/maps/?ll=-74.0445%2C40.6892&text=40.6892%2C-74.0445

Anything more you're going to have to look for something else.  Some obvious examples would be LightRoom (paid), IMatch (Paid), Digikam (FOSS), or similar programs.  One reason for this is the fact that such map APIs are not always free and can be quite expensive.  That's something that basically killed the free GeoSetter program.

Nikon view nx may be a solution

It can be done with the command line.

This is for a mac terminal:

open -a /Applications/Firefox.app/ `exiftool -p 'http://maps.google.co.uk/?q=$composite:gpslatitude#,%20$composite:gpslongitude#&z=13&t=h' x-s1_4030.jpg`

See attached for the result.

Hello
You can try Metadata++ but it uses Bing.
