photos2kml

photos2kml

Convert the geographical information stored in the EXIF data of JPEG images to generate a KML file.

Features:

• Generates a placemark for each each of the photos which contains geodata as well as a timestamp.
• A path will be added to the KML which connects all files in the order they were recorded. This is particularly useful to create routes of trips using the photos taken during this time.
• Optionally the names of places are added by using the reverse geocoding of http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org

Files without a recording date or without coordinates will be ignored.

Installation
