Challenge #30 "Where Am I"

« on: June 06, 2014, 05:44:14 AM »

Now you all have your printer nozzles un-clogged, here is something to amuse you over the weekend.
This challenge is for you to discover one of the more recent features of QU - GPS Location - introduced with version 2014-212.

Click the attached images to enlarge and then download them.
Open in QU and determine where I was.
Make screen shots of the map or satellite view and post as proof that you really did find my location, there is a prize for getting it right, see below ** Wink

If you are familiar with Google Down Your Street you can travel along the lane where the second image was taken.

A how-to explanation will follow if you respond and have a problem using the new feature in QU.

**I own a DSLR and like many such cameras, it has no facility to record your location but I have found a way of doing it after taking the photograph and writing the GPS data to Exif to make a permanent record.

I found you again...
Jeff wanted me to look for you in the recycle facility, but I said, NO!
I'll look with his GPS coordinates, and Viola! There you are.

Well 309 views of this challenge but only one person found the location! I'm disappointed Cry

So that no one feels left out, the way this was done, as follows.
QU shows GPS data in the image information window, accessed by a right click over the thumb or in the image editor, see screen shot attached.
I added the GPS data to the images using a program called Geosetter http://www.geosetter.de/en/. It makes use of a command line program called exiftool but you will be guided to install that when you install Geosetter.
It's possible to add GPS data to raw images but I usually add it to converted versions so as not to alter the original raw file.
Geosetter has a few bugs but non are serious and it's perfectly usable. The developer is responsive to any problems found.
