Program download and prerequisitesĪs the program is written in perl it should run on any platform. For shorter trips or devices with a larger storage capacity you can use a more dense interval. The denser the data, the more accurate the matching can potentially be, but the sooner the storage capacity of your device will be used up. The garmin track log setup also allows to set the time interval in which to record the data. Just download the current (active) tracklog to the computer in order to preserve the data. The garmin device will filter the data (delete track points) and strip off the timestamps on saving the tracklog within the file. A timeoffset is, however, allowed and can be considered during data processing at home.Ī special advice for garmin users (tested with etrex version): you should not store the tracklog within the device under a separate filename (using the save option). The hiker should check if the GPS clock and the camera clock are synchronized prior to the hike. It is important that the gpx file contains the coordinates, and a timestamp. The setup was tested with a Garmin eTrex vista device but it should work with any device that can export to the gpx (XML based) format. To make sure that the signal gets properly recorded the hiker should check the device from time to time. The GPS signal should be strong enough to penetrate the fabric of this material. The hiker can conveniently store the gps device in the pocket on top of his backpack. Optionally, a Google Earth kml file is created containing the gps tracklog and the image positions. The tool writes coordinates, altitude and additional metadata to the Exif and IPTC metadata section of jpeg, nef and potentially other file formats. The purpose of this tool is to allow a hiker to record a GPS tracklog or waypoints and later (at home) synchronize this GPS data with the timestamps of the image exif data of his digital camera, in order to locate and store the position where the picture was taken.
