Geotag Software For Macos

 admin

Archiving happens to be one of the most essential use cases of HoudahGeo 6. The EXIF and XMP geotag, written by HoudahGeo, create a permanent record of where a photo was taken. Once that is done, photo management software like Apple Photos can then organize and find photos by location. How to Geotag a Photo in the macOS Photos App Tuesday, September 24th, 2019 Author: Dennis Sellers. Geotagging allows you to add geographical identification metadata to various media such as a geotagged photograph or video, websites, SMS messages, QR Codes or RSS feeds and is a form of geospatial metadata.

GeoTag is a free macOS application that allows you to update imagemetadata with geolocation tags by panning and zooming in a map windowand then clicking on the location where a photo was taken. It is a good wayto add location information to photos or fine tune existing locationinformation.

Image file updates are performed using Phil Harvey’s ExifTool. This allowsgeolocation data to be modified an unlimited number of times with no imagedegradation as ExifTool modifies metadata without changing the image data.See https://exiftool.org for information regarding ExifTool.

  • Race condition: When photos with the same name are among multiple imagesopened one may fail to open. An alert will is displayed when thishappens.
  • Setting the date of an image outside of the range of 1970-2034 may result inan incorrect GPS Date Stamp. This is a limitation of how GeoTag, ExifTool,and macOS libraries handle date and time. One hopes that the year 2034 limitwill eventually be removed ;)
