Map Command - Where is it?
« on: September 12, 2007, 09:34:30 AM »
Hi,

I see from the read me pdf with the latest upgrade that there is a map command to link photos with GPS data to Google Maps. How does one access this command?

Thanks in advance,
Louis Helbig

Right-click on an image and you'll see a contextual menu.  At the bottom is the Map command.

Hi Kirk,

Thank you, this is an absolutely brilliant command.

Can it also be used on Google Earth?

No, not currently.  I don't know how hard it would be to add that support at this time.  But I'd guess that it is doable.

Hi Kirk,

I would certainly vote for being able to use it Google Earth.

Thanks for your help,
Louis :)

Is it a Mac only thing? I don't see the map command allowing to link image to the map. In the right click contextual menu I only see the Show Map which is not for linking just to show the map already linked to images.
Working on Mac, OSX, iOS and with some Canons.
Allways shooting RAW.

It's the same thing on Windows.  I'm not sure I understand what you're describing.

Your images need to have GPS EXIF data already in them for the feature to work.

Sorry I missunderstood the "map command" expression. I know the show map feature in PM, but I am yet on the other and of the problem: getting my GPS coordinates into the images. I was hoping to see a new feature in PM allowing at least to edit GPS coordinates or even to geosync images from GPS logs.

I see now this isn't the case yet. But I still hope for such a feature in PM...
