What is it? ================ GottenGeography is a simple and streamlined application for recording geotags directly into photo EXIF data. It is capable of reading logfiles from various GPS devices to accomplish this in an automatic way, but it also allows manual tagging for those users who do not own GPS units.
As a side effect it is also useful for visualizing previously-tagged photos on a map, and for viewing GPS tracks directly on a map even if you don't have any related photos. What exciting technologies set it apart from the many other, similar applications out there? ================ It's written in Python, and it uses all the sexy new gobject-introspection magic to make a great, native GNOME3 experience. It's also using ilbchamplain and OpenStreetMap to display maps, which makes for a fun, immersive experience when navigating the map. What's new? ================ Many improvements since the last announcement! Here are some highlights: * It's now able to display 5 different maps instead of just the default OpenStreetMap Mapnik map. * Geonames.org DB dump has seen a huge update, meaning improved reverse geocoding results. * Significant improvements to the drag&drop support, allowing photos to be dragged directly from the file browser onto the map (previously this would only load the photos, now it actually places them on the map as well). * Extensive port from GConf to GSettings, including new settings like remembering the last-used window size and the last-used map source. * Finally have an application icon! ;-) Where can I get it? ================ https://github.com/robru/gottengeography/wiki/Installation-Instructions How can I help out? ================ Well, we always need translators, and also if you have some icon design skills ours is quite rudimentary ;-) Why not try it out and report some bugs? With many thanks to Marc Ordinas i Llopis for many bugfixes over the past month. -- https://github.com/robru/gottengeography _______________________________________________ gnome-announce-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
