Forums > General > Using Exif info for GPS location

As all my photos are already exif geotagged with a GPS tagger. Is there a way I can get panoye to use those information instead of picking the location on the map, which can lead to some deviations.

Problem with EXIF data is than most of the photostitching software erase EXIF when stitching the panorama. I've tried but it works only on a small number of all panoramas.

My workflow usually has the geo-tagging done last (using MS Pro and mnea log); after stitching and touch-up.

I'm just guessing, avid traveling photographers will have all their photos(including panoramas) geotagged for future uses. It will be nice to be able to use those metadata during the uploading of these panos here. Just a good to have feature I felt. Otherwise I'm still ok with selecting on the map.

OK, I tried parsing it with PHP (the programming language used for Panoye) and it should be easy. For one of your panoramas I got:

[GPSLatitude] => Array
(
[0] => 2200000/100000
[1] => 2312540/100000
[2] => 0/100000
)

[GPSLongitudeRef] => E
[GPSLongitude] => Array
(
[0] => 11400000/100000
[1] => 2269139/100000
[2] => 0/100000
)

I still have to grasp a few things... But it is possible to do.

Maybe in the next version.
