  2. Photo2GPS • A free software program that associates GPS track files with digital photographs • Created by the Geospatial Extension Educator at the University of Connecticut • Only works with Windows XP (does not work with Vista or Windows 7....) • Can be downloaded from http://clear.uconn.edu/geospatial/GPSResources.htm

  3. Photo2GPS (software) • We are not going to work with Photo2GPS, but I wanted you to be aware of it... • We are going to work with RoboGEO

  4. RoboGEO • RoboGeo is very similar to Photo2GPS • It is a bit more “powerful” • More functionality... • User-friendly • There is a “free trial version” • 1 license of the real version costs $79 • 10 license “lab kit” is $399 • More information at: www.robogeo.com

  7. Interpolated Photo Locations 24 seconds between track points 2007/04/02-15:42:32 2007/04/02-15:42:44 2007/04/02-15:42:18 2007/04/02-15:42:03 15:42:28 Track points w/ date and time displayed Picture taken at 15:42:28 which puts the picture at 2/3 of the distance between the track points University of Connecticut, Geospatial Technology Program
