Geo photoblog CLI tool
What is this?
its a CLI tool that runs image compressions to JPG images and embeds GEO Lat and Long information to media files via exiftool.
Its experimental and is being used on my travels so I can share images with friends and family easily.
simply create a directory: ~/mytravels. make directories in ~/mytravels they become albums.
run geotag
It also communicates to igotu 120 gps logger over USB to get GPX file and manipulates the gpx file for correct date stamp. https://www.amazon.co.uk/i-gotU-GT-120-IGOTU-Tracker/dp/B0021AE83M
After this step it'll geotag your images then sync with amazon S3.
Installation
brew install exiftool
brew install imagemagick graphicsmagick
if you have the a igotu 120 or 600 GPS tracking device install this great software to install the igotu2gpx
binary which geotag will shell out to.
otherwise I'd suggest using: https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger/ install on play store and copy over the gpx file into an album folder or root of ~/mytravels. Its great but I wanted a dedicated device which I can keep in a bag all day every day with me.
WORKFLOW
copy over images to folders in ~/mytravels
copy over images to ext HDD for backup (also preserves RAW originals)
I use rsync rsync -avz ~/mytravels /Volumes/TravellerDrive/mytravels/
then I run geotag
