Promote Systems Blog

I started writing a short essay on the geotagging software, and then realized there is one that I wrote myself While not really a mapping application (although it has a “Locate this image” button), the Promote Geotagging Suite helps filling in the blanks in geotagging when you forget to turn on your GPS unit.

I came across this idea when I was testing a pre-release version of the Promote GPS in some distant mountain region, and it ended up working all the time and every time… unless I forgot to turn it on after power cycling it to test its hot start capabilities When I came back from the trip, I had a few image groups that were taken at the same spot, but sometimes I only remembered to check on the GPS signal reception after a while. With the Promote Geotagging Suite I was able to fill in the blanks from the images that were taken at the same place, and hence would have the same geographic information. Promote Geotagging Suite does not fill in the date and time though, as those would be different from other shots.

The Promote Geotagging Suite can be downloaded by clicking here. As always, comments and suggestions are most welcome
