Google Earth thread!

The ideal would be something that works the way that Windows Explorer does where a 'Place' saved into a GE folder automatically assumes the correct aphabetical position in the list when the folder is 'closed'.

OK.... That is possible, but will have to add the feature at the first update after initial testing.

Thanks Dave.

Back on the case with this at last... sorry about the long pause in proceedings. ....

Cheers

As a matter of interest does any one else Geo tag their photo's so that can appear correctly located on maps such as Google Earth I've been doing it for sometime.

The Geo tags are in the photo file itself so if you upload a photo to google earth for example it will automatically place it on the map in the correct place.

Also look up EXIF tags

Geo-Tags are in GE

My principal interest in producing this utility is in support of Digital Archive relational data fields, and the production of "location" maps and diagrams using GIS and other mapping apps.

(Fundamentally it's a tool for converting OS Grid to decimal Lat/Long and Vice Versa)

The Google Earth and Virtual Earth (sorry Bing!) stuff is a by product - but it's not a huge issue to generate EXIF tags or any other output if there is a demand for it.

Clearly if we are promoting our cause by posting to these third party Web resources it's a worthwhile thing to do.

It would be a good idea as it's becoming increasingly popular, I record location, dates a description & a few other things as well as the geo tags in my pictures.

Amazing; thanks for the pointer PNK.

You learn something new every day; I never knew there were satellites up there during the war.
