Are you a geographer who need to add geographical data to your images? If you have not enough mondy to buy a costly digital camera with a built-in GPS. Take it easy! RoboGEO, which was published by TimTech Computer is just for you! RoboGEO provides the same functionality as a GPS camera, but without the bulk, expense, inconvenience, and hassle of wiring the two together. Come on with me and view how helpful is it for you now!

RoboGEO is a tool to geo-reference digital images with latitude, longitude, and altitude information. It can print this information onto the actual image (small footer on image) and also add it to the EXIF headers, allowing us to permanently link the photo to the GPS coordinates. RoboGEO works with any digital camera and includes direct support for Garmin GPS units and can also import G7ToWin tracklog files, so we can use it with other models as well. It can also be used to launch online maps, that show us the geographical location for images that have the geo data added. RoboGEO does not require the use of a GPS, since we can also enter the Langitude/Lattitude information manually, but it works most efficient if used in conjunction with a GPS unit.

The key features and benefits of RoboGEO include:

With RoboGEO we can write the latitude, longitude, altitude and photo direction to the image's EXIF headers to permanently embed the location data within the actual image. The writing is lossless, so there's no loss of image quality. We can also read and write IPTC data. It's lossless too.

With RoboGEO we can stamp the local time, UTC offset, latitude, longitude, altitude, photo direction and datum at the bottom of each image. We can specify numerous options for the watermarks, including the latitude and longitude formats.

With RoboGEO we can use Google Earth as a geocoder. Simply position the crosshair to the desired location and then press the Geocode button. Since everything occurs on our local computer, it's faster than using a web based application. This feature also allows us to quickly preview or adjust an existing image location - just press the F5 key.

With RoboGEO we can export KML or KMZ files for display in Google Earth. RoboGEO's "KMZ for the Web" format creates very small KMZ files with embedded images that we can share with others by e-mail. Like with Google Maps, we can make full use of our EXIF and IPTC information in the image titles and descriptions. Since there's no requirement for loading images, we can also use this feature as our normal GPX tracklog viewer and we probably will once we see the results.

With RoboGEO we can create Google Map web pages with icons that show where each picture was taken. When these icons are clicked, additional info about the picture is displayed along with the option of viewing the full size image. We can even include the GPS tracklog on the map, automatically use the EXIF and IPTC information for the image title and description or merge individual EXIF/IPTC fields for whatever use we require.

With RoboGEO we can export GPX files for use in other 3rd party GPS utility programs. The photo locations can be exported as either a list of waypoints or as the basis for a route. We can also include the GPS Tracklog. RoboGEO writes the image file path to the waypoint's comment field, which allows for easy viewing.

RoboGEO allows us to upload our photos to Flickr, the internet's best photo sharing service. RoboGEO creates the Flickr geotags that allow us to link our photos to various types of maps using the Flickr2Map service. The Flickr Geo API is also supported which allows us to locate our photos on Yahoo! Maps. The SmartSet feature can automatically categorize our Flickr photos based on the keywords. We can also merge the photo's EXIF or IPTC information directly into the titles and descriptions.

With RoboGEO we can export ESRI shapefiles for viewing in ArcView. We can export point shapefiles that correspond to the geocoded photos, line shapefiles that represent the GPS tracklog, or both. We can also include any EXIF or IPTC field in the output. RoboGEO can automatically create a custom URL attribute for each photo. These allow us to easily share shapefiles without also having to distribute the photos.

RoboGEO allows us to export DXF files for most popular vector based drawing programs such as AutoCAD and IntelliCAD. The DXF files are AutoCAD 2000 format and contain clickable entities that allow us to easily view the photos. We can even include a GPS tracklog and represent it as a lightweight polyline on the drawing. The images can be located either on the local computer or on a web server. The latter allows us to easily share DWG files with others.

RoboGEO allows us to export the geocoded photos and/or tracklogs to Microsoft's MapPoint or Streets and Trips. This will create pushpins in MapPoint that, when clicked, display the photo information and a link to load the full size image. This is a good alternative to Google Maps when we want the information to be available only to us and not to anyone on the public internet.

RoboGEO allows us to use any modern digital voice recorder, associate audio files with the photos. Simply record the dictation after taking each photo and the program will automatically equate the two. This functionality is independent of the program's geocoding capabilities, but we can still include the audio files in the Google Maps or Google Earth output if we choose.

In addition, RoboGEO provides a free trial for us but only can be free used 30 days and some functions of it are disabled. It is a standalone software and does not need any extra software and hardware requirement. RoboGEO does not contain any adware or spyware. It works with most recent variants of Windows and its current version is 5.6. The price of the registration version is only $39.95 and we can get update and upgrade free. With all these features, simple interface, excellent usability, low cost and free trial period - why are you still reading?
