The problem apparently results from a problem that Picasa has reading the GPSVersionTag created by locr. 9/3/08: I’ve heard this is no longer an issue. The geographic location is written in the EXIF tag, but some programs (like Picasa) can’t read EXIF tags modified by locr. Sometimes, it won’t tag a photo in a series if that happens, click on the “Clear EXIF location tags”, and that may be enough to get it to work.ģ. Hopefully, locr will recognize the need to accept the standard GPX format in their program, and add it as an option sometime soon.Ģ. You’ll have to open the GPX file in a text editor, manually delete the trackpoints with no timestamp, then save the file as a new GPX file before using GPSBabel to convert it to the nmea format. In particular, if any of your GPX trackpoints don’t have a timestamp, GPSBabel won’t be able to create the nmea file, and will generate an error message. Make sure you have the latest version of GPSBabel and the GPSBabelGUI. The gpx file will be saved in the nmea format, which then can be opened in the GPS Photo software. In the “Filter” window activate the “GPS fixes” check box and select “pps” as option.In the menu click “Options” and select the “Filter” command (or click the “Filter” button).

Do not forget the “.nmea” file extension!

You can convert GPX to nmea using GPSBabel, and the following procedure from the help file: One of the biggest pains of locr is that it doesn’t accept standard GPX files for geotagging – it requires nmea files.

The software does work, but it’s not without quirks, particularly for automatic geotagging with GPS data.ġ. You can either manually geotag a photo using a Google Maps interface, or use GPS data to assign geotags.

Make sure you download the PDF manual as well, as you’ll probably need it.

Geotagging can be done with separate software called “locr GPS Photo” the software is free, and available for download even without registering for the site. Basic accounts are free, and while I assume that premium accounts will be available for a price at some point, I can’t seem to find any mention of that on the site. Locr is a web album site oriented around geographic location, where you can upload geotagged photos, share them, and have them display in an album or on a map interface.
