Editorial Review of RoboGeo

Knowing exactly where a photo was taken can be incredibly useful. Insurance agents can not only pinpoint the damage, but can look at a map of the intersection where an accident took place. Real estate agents can create a virtual walking tour of houses in a particular neighborhood. And world travelers can retrace almost every step they took on a vacation.

RoboGeo makes the act of "geocoding" (adding geographic location data) to an image file very easy. You simply point the program at a folder full of photos (or a single one), then use any of a number of data files created by a GPS device or an application like Google Earth to pinpoint the precise location where the photo was taken, and RoboGeo does the rest.

The program accepts geographic data in a number of formats: GPS tracklogs or waypoint files; NMEA files; or you can look up the location with a built-in search engine, with Google Earth, or you can manually enter the latitude and longitude coordinates yourself. Once the images have been geocoded, you can write the location data to the image file's EXIF headers, stamp the image with the coordinates, export the file to a Google Earth KML file, or export the geocoded image to Flickr, MapPoint, or Google Maps. If you're so inclined, you can even annotate the image with a prerecorded audio file.

RoboGeo's trial version offers the full features of the registered version, but incorporates a fairly large, random error rate into the geocoding data (the location data can be as much as a full kilometer off from the true location). Instead of a nice smooth path from one photo to the next, the geocoding will export KML files that make it look like you're zigzagging around all over the place. But if you want to do a lot of geocoding of your image files, RoboGeo is about the easiest and most full-featured tool you can use, and the registration fee might be well worth it.

Note from the vendor: Intentional errors are introduced in the demo version that cause the latitude and longitude values to be inaccurate by up to about a kilometer. Otherwise, the demo is fully functional.

Description of RoboGeo

Geocode digital images with latitude, longitude, altitude, and direction information. RoboGEO stamps this information onto the actual photo or writes it to the EXIF headers, allowing you to permanently geotag and link your photos to the GPS coordinates. All writing to the EXIF and IPTC headers is lossless and all of the existing comments (including the MakerNote and the Adobe XMP metadata) are preserved. Includes a Picasa-style geotagger for Google Earth. Create web pages that use Google Maps, export KML or KMZ files to Google Earth, upload geotagged photos to Flickr, export ESRI SHP shapefiles, export to MapPoint, or export DXF files to AutoCAD or IntelliCAD. Show the photo direction on maps and calculate it from the GPS tracklog. Automatically merge EXIF or IPTC tags into the image titles and descriptions. Record dictation using any modern digital voice recorder and automatically associate audio with the photos. Rotate or redate images based on the EXIF info. Export GPX files. Edit the EXIF times. Lookup altitudes knowing only lat/lon. Photo locations can be projected to a new location in either ground or airplane mode. Free EXIF/IPTC viewer. Geocode any type of JPG, PNG, BMP, TIF, Adobe DNG file, Canon CR2, Minolta MRW, or Epson ERF file. Directly supports Garmin GPS units (USB or COM), but no GPS is required. Geocode images from a GPS tracklog, NMEA sentences, waypoints, known place names or OziExploer PLT files. Import GPX files for interfacing with other GPS makes and models like Magellan, Lowrance or Trimble. Supports DNR Garmin. Rename images based on the EXIF data. Use any modern digital camera. Internationally aware. Very easy to use. Nice user interface. Can be fully automated from the command line. Perfect tool for aerial photography, land surveyors, engineers, insurance claim adjusters or anyone who needs to collect field data for integration into a GIS system. Low cost. Free lifetime upgrades. Extensive on-line documentation.
