For a while now I've been
geotagging parts of my photo collection in preparation for Google's
Panormaio site so that they appear in
Google Earth. However it's always been a rather complex process--thankfully I don't do it so often! However the most recent time I did this (actually this week), I came across a nice piece of software from Craig Stanton called
Geotagger--an easy to use retrospective geotagging app that's for free!
- Essentially after running Geotagger;
- start Google Earth and centre the map on the location with which you want to associate with your photo(s);
- then drag the respective photo(s) from iPhoto (or anywhere for that matter) onto the Geotagger icon in the dock.
You can confirm that the photo is now geotagged by opening the photo in Preview and selecting
Tools,
Inspector. Mapping the photos with Google Earth can be tricky so you should also download a
