Geotagging of photos taken from the field survey using GPS track timeline before I ever post using GPS PhotoLink paid software. I then tried some other free software for geotagging, and this time I tried to review the Software GpicSync.
GPicSync stands for G: GPS Pic: Pictures Sync: Synchronization, a geotagging software / free geocode made by francois.schnell. GPicSync is a small and simple application that functions automatically insert location information into photo metadata so that the photo can be displayed in Google Earth, Flickr, etc. using the reference timeline loc.alize.us GPS track.
Here are the features contained in GPicSync:
automatically geocode your photos (in the EXIF header)
use a GPS tracklog in the GPX format or NMEA format (multiple selection possible)
Support elevation data if present in the tracklog
Create a Google Earth KML file to directly visualize the geocoded photos and track in Google Earth
Create a Google Maps file to publish your pictures and track on the web (more)
Automatically associate audio or video files in Google Earth and Google Maps
Create a Google Earth KMZ file (containing your geolocalized pictures and tracklog).
add additional geonames and 'geotagged' metadata (for automatic tagging in Flickr for example) and create an automatic IPTC caption (more)
manually write latitude / longitude in a picture EXIF or a selection of photos
handy tools integrated (Time correction tool, EXIF reader, GPX inspector, rename pictures with date / location,)
supports Jpeg pictures and main RAW files format (more)
software available in Bahasa, French, German, Italian, traditional and simplified Chinese, Catalan, Russian, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese and Koruna (see translations)
GPicSync can be downloaded for free HERE. Tutorial how to use this application can be found on page Getting Started with GPicSync. In case I've ever done, this GPicSync was more accurate than the GPS Photo Link. Only GPS Photo Link is able to produce a shapefile that can directly link with photo and KML in ArcGIS and can link with a photo in Google Earth, while GPicSync only generate KML files only which also has links photo as facilities contained on Panoramio
