#66 Use EXIF tags automatically
I've just uploaded a bunch of geotagged pictures to my gallery and use the map module for the first time with my gallery 2.3(head).
What puzzles me is that in order to get a map link next to each of my ~200 pictures, apparently I'd need to click on "Edit Photo", "Google Map", "Get via EXIF headers", "Save". At ~30s per photo this would mean clicking around for more than 1 1/2 hours!
Am I missing something here, or why doesn't the map module just use EXIF georef information if it's present in a picture?
This is an excellent question and I am looking to implement this module on my Gallery but doing this procedure for each photo is a showstopper for me as well. Anyone have an answer?
The current method is somewhat stupid and I intend to change it to make it an option when you add files, just like the EXIF module has now. In the meantime, you can use the maintenance task to go through your pictures and extract the coordinates from the EXIF headers.
This is incorrect. To manually modify all the photos at once (a quick and easy technique), click "site admin". Then from the sidebar click "Maintenance", followed by running "Populate GPS Data from EXIF Headers". I hope this helps.
