Geosetter

Several weeks ago someone had posted a comment in the Geotagging Flickr discussion forum about a new geotagging program called Geosetter. I downloaded the software before the holiday break, but didn’t have a chance to try it out until my Tigerville excursion this morning.

The program opens up with a fairly simple interface and an integrated Google Maps view. You can select individual images or a folder and match those to an existing GPS track. You can also manually geotag the images. One nice thing about Geosetter is that it will also geotag RAW files. It also has the standard time offsets, etc, that one would expect with this type of program.

When I tried this out with my images from today, I was quite pleased with the results. Robogeo and GPicSync had a tendency to drop all of my images in one location if they couldn’t figure out where the images belonged. Geosetter seems to have done the best job of tagging the images accurately. There were a few that it couldn’t geocode, so it just left them alone

The simplicity and accuracy of this program means it will probably be my go-to program for automatic tagging. When I get a chance, I’ll try to check out a few more of its features, but for now I like what I’m seeing.

    I recently came across this program as well. Was impressed with what I could do manually to the EXIF tag re GPS, as well as the IPTC tag regarding location name etc.

    Got hooked, and ordered myself a GPS data logger (QSTARZ BT-Q1000). Now cannot wait to try this unit out with Geosetter.

    I liked the ability to update raw files also, as well as the feature of automatically backing up files before updating tags.

    So far, have looked at a number of other programs that update EXIF, but to date haven’t really found any that I felt were superior to Geosetter. But then again, what do I know, I am only a beginner at this geotagging.
