Hi All, I would imagine someone in the group has already tackled something like this so I am hoping they can shed some insight.
Going forward I am wanting to track the Geo-Coordinates (GC) some of the pictures I take, particularly the ones of places I have been. I am pretty new to the idea of "geo-cahcing" or other sorts of "geo-things" so I may not even know what questions to ask and how. What I would like to do is embed the GC into the images and have them potentially do the following: * Appear as part of the image * Be embedded into the image * Be "clickable" so that some looking at the picture could visit it on the web. Now from what I have so far I can place a watermark or layer on an image that should show the GC on the image, but I am not quite sure how I would embed that as well. From what I have searched/experimented/guessed at so far is that I could create an image map on the image that the person viewing it could click on. I haven't had any successes at the image map yet but I am still playing around a bit. Am I approaching this the right way or am I way off? Any suggestions or links that anyone could offer? I would prefer to use GIMP or some other cross-platform tool as I use multiple platforms, but the primary use would be on my 3E-PC. Is there by chance a plug-in for gimp that would accomplish the above? Assuming that teh image map might be a cirrect way to go, is there a good web service that would allow some to click on teh map in the image, go to a site and have it come up? the only thing I can thnk of at this point is Google Maps, but am open to other ideas. See guys...I can ask on-topic questions once in awhile...LOL! ;-)
