geolocation NXstudio
golunvolo:
I´m used to find my images in the map with lightroom but I'm no longer subscribed. I´m not doing paid work enough to justify the cost.
So, NX studio it is for me now and I can´t find a map anywhere. The videos online explaining how-to are from an older version of the program. Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance
Birna Rørslett:
Apparently, Nikon removed the geoview feature .... Probably because Microsoft terminated Internet Explorer and Nikon used some kind of IE-related software (ActiveX?).
Free-standing geosetting/viewing programs exist. However, not sure how they suit your work flow.
golunvolo:
Thank you Birna.
Do you have any recommendation for geosetaging/viewing program?
Birna Rørslett:
Must be plenty of those, but maybe the combination of Mac and RAW files is less commonly covered? Not using Mac myself, so wouldn't know.
As I recall you're using a Transystem GPS logger and there is a dedicated program, GPS Photo Tagger, for it which can show not only GPS track logs, but also photos on a map and likely allows writing GPS info into photos. It accompanies the Transystem itself so you ought to have it already. It might need jpgs however, so if you only shoot NEFs no luck unless you alter your routine to include RAW + jpg. Don't know whether it runs under Mac, though.
I don't understand why Nikon had to abandon the use of map view in NX Studio, as there are lots of APIs that can link GPS data [from photos] to map views and don't depend on IE. They aren't locked in to Google Maps either as there are open-source maps and APIs out there in the plenty.

As far as I know the dedicated program for my gps is windows only. I had that problem at the beginnig but because lightroom covered my needs I didn´t look any further into it.
