Hi guys, before I get to my question I just want to thank everyone who has been working on the latest update to Zen...you have all done a great job!!
My Question...now that we have geotagging options along with Google maps I was wondering what programs everyone is using to set up the co-ordinates? I have never used flikr and don't even have an account there, nor do I really want to set one up just for the geotagging.
So what do you recommend for use on the PC to take advantage of this feature?
Cheers

Hello there -
This seems to be my work flow so far although I haven't gotten any final products up (but with the newest update to ZenPhotos I think I'm on my way!
1) I carry a GPS with me when I travel and maniacally download the tracklogs.
2) Take photos, of course
3) Download photos to computer and use Picasa to add description and export subsets at a smaller resolution (usually 640x480 or 480x640)
4) Clean up tracklogs for longer journeys and then use RoboGeo (http://www.robogeo.com/home/)to geocode and geotag the subset of photos.
5) Anything that didn't join on the timestamps I hand geocoded by finding the coordinates in Google Earth or Google Maps.
I was having a hard time finding a photo gallery (that could be integrated with WordPress or Typepad - easily) and had really like ZenPhoto. But when I was first looking they couldn't read the photo EXIF info - I didn't want to do all of my editing online - ick. NOW though I think they are the bee's knees and can't wait to start formatting my albums and adding maps.
The new versions will read my lat/long and descriptions from the EXIF/Ixxx header and I assume that the info is written to a variable somewhere that I will be able to access. That is hwere the playing around will have to occur.
Cheers,
Nif
