1. Introduction
HoudahGeo is a one-stop geocoding solution for the Mac. HoudahGeo caters to two
very different needs:
■
Geocoding for archival purposes using EXIF, XMP and IPTC tags
■
Geocoding for publishing to Google Earth, Flickr, or locr
HoudahGeo offers you many ways of geocoding your favorite photos:
■
Automatic: Matches photos to a GPS track log
■
iPhone: Matches photos to reference photos taken using iPhone
■
Manually using Google Earth: Point Google Earth to the desired location
■
Manually using a map: Pick locations using the built-in map
■
Precision: Attach photos to GPS waypoints
■
Manual entry: Enter coordinates found on Google Earth, Wikipedia, ...
HoudahGeo connects directly to many brands and models of GPS track loggers. It also
reads GPX, NMEA, TES, … and TCX files created by third party software.
2. The Basics
HoudahGeo structures the geocoding process into three successive steps:
■
Load: Start by adding images and optionally GPS track
logs to the project
■
Process: Add or update metadata for the images in the
project
■
Output: Export or publish the newly created metadata
The HoudahGeo project window thus has three states. One for each step. Use the first
three toolbar buttons to switch between states. The toolbar will update to show buttons
applicable to the current context.
HoudahGeo works on project files that may be saved for later use. A project file is
essentially a list of image files. A project stores metadata for the images it references.
Additionally, GPS track logs can be loaded into a project.
