Google Maps Panel

[teejayuu]

Hi all,

I used to dabble in EXIF manipulation in the early of the last decade.  Have just been on a cruise and dusted off my 10 year old Lumix DMC-TZ30 camera (instead of snapping everything on the smart phone).  Started taking pictures and realised it was slow to pickup GPS data.  Came home and downloaded the GUI version of the software.

Have enabled internet access for Google Maps (and restarted the machine - Windows 10, fully updated), yet when I highlight a photo, then click the Google Map panel I get the script error attached.

Can I get round this? or is it not possible?

Google started charging for use of their map interface, so I'm thinking this is the problem.

Anything further on this problem?  I would be (was) a very useful feature. 

Is there a work around?  The cause may be as given here:

"Could not complete the operation due to error 80020101

Help Documentation
https://documentation.help › LANSA050_2485
This will cause a 80020101 error because the script has a missing }. The missing } means the whole script does not make any sense at all"

Thanks for any ideas . . . . .

News is that Google Maps no longer works 'for free', so it will not work anymore with ExifToolGui 5.1.6.

I advise you to get the latest version of ExifToolGui, that version uses OSM (Open Street Map). It can be downloaded from: https://github.com/FrankBijnen/ExifToolGui/releases/tag/V6.2.5

Also download the WebView2Loader.dll and put it next to ExifToolGui.exe. Take the version that matches your platform (Win32/Win64) https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Web.WebView2. More info can be found here: https://github.com/FrankBijnen/ExifToolGui/blob/main/Docs/ReadMe%20for%20Users.txt

First time you start the new version. Enable 'Internet Access' and 'GeoCoding'  in Preferences. https://github.com/FrankBijnen/ExifToolGui/blob/main/Docs/Readme%20GeoCoding.txt

Good luck.

OK, thanks. I'll give that a try . . . . .
