HoudahGeo
I have been playing a bit with HoudahGeo. This application allows the user to add geographic coordinates to images. For this the user only has to select an image and move the pointer around on a globe (bases on Google Maps). The images can be taken from the iPhoto library or a plain image file can be imported.
Once an image has been geotagged, the location can be exported as Spotlight tags, as EXIF info. Also the images can be exported to Flickr and to Google Earth as kmz file. The app also has support for GPS tracks (can not try that out).
I have mixed feelings about this application. I rather have something that is integrated with iPhoto. I do the Flickr exporting already there. HoudahGeo creates new sets for images with geocodes, but I already have those sets in iPhoto. The export as kmz-file is very nice.
Well I am still grasping with my workflow around locations. I am really waiting for camera producers to integrate GPS.
