3.2.3.3 Geotagging
The geotagging menu allows enabling the feature and showing a map
centered on the current position. The current coordinates are written at
the bottom of the menu.
Once a picture has been taken, the current location is saved as an EXIF
metadata in the JPEG file (GPS sub-IFD).
3.2.3.3.1
How to enable the GPS
DAP-Imager has been built to work with the standard location sensors
supported by Windows 7. The WWAN module is equipped with a GPS,
which maps to “Sierra Wireless NMEA Port” in the “Location and Oth-
er Sensors” section of the control panel. You may also use the “Geosense
Location Sensor” that retrieves the current position by looking to the
WLAN used.
Refer to Section
3.1 GPS Instructions
for more information.
Once a fix is available, DAP-Imager should show the current position in
the geotagging menu.
Refer to the GPS section of the user’s manual for more information on
troubleshooting the GPS.
3.2.3.3.2
How to View Geotagging Data
To view the location where the picture has been taken, you may use any
geotagging software. For example, the “geotag” software is an open
source java program that can be run from the web (open
http://geo-
tag.sourceforge.net
, then click on “Run it now”).
The coordinates are shown on top after having added the file to the list.
