CC's Geo-tagged image intro and archive

Thought I might take the opportunity to share a little of the GPS tracking and Geotagging I've done over the past few years in Western China. The great thing about combining both is the ability to co-locate useful and related info thereby shortening other peoples research process.

If anyone is interested in a basic introduction on this topic, please visit:

Here you'll find a good basic run through of Google Earth, KML(Z) files and see some outrageous and, in a relative sense, never before seen landscapes of Western China. It's a wild and dangerous place that makes Death Valley look like a short walk through a desert (no offense to Death Valley but this place is BAD)

Or, if you just want to see the complete collection of geo-tagged pictures, you can head to my Panoramio site. Panoramio is a free service provided for people who want their geotagged images to appear on Google Earth. Photos go through a screening process and accepted images appear on the default Panoramio layer in GE.

Once there you can browse anyone's images. If you're looking to do some ride-planning, this is a great place to start.

If anyone else has any geo-tagged image collections, I'm sure we'd all love to see them no matter how big or small!

How do you geo-tag your images?

First I put all the photos I want to geo-tag into a separate folder. Then I use Panorado Flyer which is a simple and FREE software that allows you to choose a location in Google Earth, then right click on your image file and Panorado will install menus in your pop-up, one of which says "Get location from Google Earth".

Click on that and it's instantly assigned.
