This repository demonstrates how to extract GPS information from smartphone photos and plot it in an interactive .html file. Also, we generate a .csv file, allowing to open this coordinate in different GIS/Softwares.
While your phone can show you where a photo was taken, there are several reasons you might want to extract GPS coordinates:
- Fieldwork Documentation: If you're conducting fieldwork and need to review where each picture was taken, extracting coordinates allows you to plot all locations on a map for easy visualization.
- Blogging and Storytelling: Enhance your travel blog by showcasing the exact spots where you captured stunning photos, such as sunsets or scenic views.
The steps to extract and visualize GPS coordinates are straightforward and detailed in this notebook. All the requirements are in this file.
