GPX Binder can calculate the coordinate where the photos were taken by considering timestamp of them. In addition, you can write coordinates to original photo files as geotag.


How to import Photos

Drag and drop photo files which you want to import into Photo List (figure ②). GPX Binder calculates the coordinate where the photos were taken and puts them on the map as icons.

When you click photo icon on the map, preview image of the photo file will be shown in the Detail Information (figure ③) .
