Geotag Photos app blog

As we wrote few days ago, we are currently in beta phase with Geotag Photos for Android. This geotagging application will have similar features, as its iPhone older brother. Today, we send first beta version to beta testers. If you have Android phone and you want to try our easy geotagging application, please fill this form (we already have enough beta testers, that you!).  We support all Android phones with Android 1.6 or above.

For users, that wants to wait for full version, we are sending few screenshots, to give an idea, how our geotagging app for Android  will look like. Full version will be available on Android Market within 1 month.

We are also preparing video with Android version from real trip, so stay tuned .

Well, not everybody has to have iPhone, I guess… So that we decided to port Geotag Photos to Android platform. Android is amazing – yes, it is not so easy to make nice GUI with animations for Android, but from the other way, there is much less issues for example with background tasks (that Geotag Photos is using).

Currently, beta version of Geotag Photos for Android is finished. We tried to implement all functions, that are in iPhone version, we also tried to make easy to use GUI, that you know from iPhone version. Android users will receive same features, like automatic / manual logging, map view, GPX export and integration with our desktop geotagging solution (means geotagging of almost all image files – JPG and more that 20 types of RAWs – NEF, CR2, CRW, …).

It will take some time, before we will release this application on Android Market, but now we want to provide this version to 20-30 beta testers. If you have Android phone, please feel free to signup to Geotag Photos Android beta program (we already have enough beta testers, thank you!).

We just released new version of Geotag Photos geotagging desktop application. This version was focused mostly on bug fixes, but some new interesting features are there:

• since iPhone Geotag Photos 2.5 we are storing altitude with each shot. But until now, this information wasn’t added to your photos. Now, altitude is automatically stored to photo Exif information, so that now everybody will know, how hight was that mountain on that beautiful photo, that you’ve climbed
• Exiftool plugin is now prefered geotagging engine. If you are using default geotagging engine (that supports .JPGs only), you will see one time message after next run of Geotag Photos desktop application, that will recommend you to install exiftool plugin. Sure it is free. We decide to do this, because Exiftool supports more cameras and also writes GPS coordinates to images better.
• Improved camera RAW support. Now supports more cameras.

So that happy geotagging!

Yours,
