Promote Systems Blog

Some customers ask us what software could they use to make better use of the Promote GPS. Internally we mostly use Google Picasa web albums and its linking to Google Maps, but there are alternatives. The following software applications support geotagging:

- Google Picasa, Windows, Mac (looks like it requires iPhoto application to be installed on Mac)

- Nikon ViewNX:

Nikon ViewNX 1.3.0 for Windows

Nikon ViewNX 1.3.0 for Mac

Latest versions can be found here.

- iPhoto (Mac)

Flickr also supports geotagging for uploaded images (more information can be found here).

There is also an application I happened to write after coming back from a trip where I tested a pre-release version of the Promote GPS. It fills in the images that were not geotagged due to an operator’s mistake (such as not turning the GPS unit on). Click here to read more about it, or go straight ahead to download page for the Promote Geotagging Suite.

UPD: Looks like I forgot to mention Adobe Photoshop / Bridge – they are certainly not primarily geotagging applications, but will let you pick geotags out of your images.

If you happen to come across another application or service that supports geotagged images or otherwise helps when working with a camera GPS, feel free to let me know. Happy geotagging
