How to build a map of GPS tagged images, EXIF to cloudmap

[Esox lucius]

I have a bunch of images, more specifically 300, which are photographed in an area size about 15 square kilometers. It is a documentary, and specific location of shots is significant to the written documentation which will be featured in the project photobook, published next spring. The photos are all DSLR images, RAW shots which have automatically been GPS tagged with a Nikon GPS-1 device.

My goal is to be able to build an image which is a map, with lots of pins indicating where on the map the individual photos were taken. I am going to use this map in my book, which means that I need publishing rights to the map image I create.

What solutions come into your mind?

Cheers,

Write a small program in Python that uses pyexiv2 to extract GPS info from the exif block, then output a geotagged feed you can pass on to google maps (or better yet a KML file).

It should be fairly easy, if you don't find another way of doing it send me a PM.

Another solution could be HTML and javascript. Here the API reference . You generate an HTML page with the map and then you save it.

I have stored my pics at smugmug. If you are a member there this feature is included together with Google maps

Sample here >

If you hit the "MAP THIS" button on the top of the right side you will see Google maps with the pins.

Another solution would be this >

Copy the following link >

into the data field (Image URL) of the exif viewer and he will show you Google maps as well, but only for this image. So perhaps you can copy this map from the viewer and put the other pins manually into it.
