Keakuratan GPS sendiri Garmin GPSMAP 62st Dalam posting saya tentang akurasi GPS, saya membuat beberapa klaim tentang keakuratan perangkat GPS dan menggunakan grafik yang diciptakan oleh pihak ketiga yang mungkin membingungkan masalah ini bagi beberapa orang, karena tampaknya menunjukkan perbedaan yang berbeda. Tingkat akurasi yang saya tulis. Berikut adalah cara menentukan keakuratan GPS Anda sendiri, berdasarkan eksperimen yang saya lakukan minggu lalu di dua unit saya sendiri. Mengatur GPS GPS yang saya gunakan adalah Garmin GPSMAP 62st (foto kanan). Hidupkan GPS dan biarkan 8220settle8221 atau hitung posisi Anda. Jika tidak lama lagi dibutuhkan waktu 15 menit. Saat Anda menemukannya, konfigurasikan GPS untuk mencatat posisi terlepas dari seberapa jauh hal itu percaya bahwa ia telah bergerak sejak penghitungan terakhir. Beberapa unit GPS 8220filter8221 posisi sehingga mereka tidak mempergunakan jarak yang belum pernah dilalui. Hal ini penting bagi atlet yang menggunakannya untuk melacak sejauh mana mereka berlari. Jika Anda tidak melakukan langkah ini, hasilnya akan sangat aneh, karena GPS hanya akan merekam ayunan lebar pada posisinya. Mungkin ide bagus untuk memastikan baterainya masih segar. Pilih lokasi di mana GPS dapat diletakkan, aman, selama beberapa jam dan di mana ia memiliki pemandangan langit yang wajar, serupa dengan yang Anda harapkan dengan kondisi yang Anda gunakan secara teratur. Mulai mengumpulkan data Hapus trek yang sekarang. Langkah penting ini 8220zeros8221 saat ini merekam file lagu jadi kita mulai dengan data yang ada saat ini, dan 8220stable8221 8212 GPS sudah punya waktu untuk memperbaiki posisi. Kami hanya tertarik pada posisi saat ini selama GPS tidak bergerak. Biarkan GPS mengumpulkan data selama beberapa jam. Jangan pindahkan. Di sinilah kita membiarkan unit kecil itu berhasil mengumpulkan data. Ambil data Simpan trek, dan download ke komputer Anda. Dalam kasus saya, data ada dalam file GPX. Saya mengambil file dan mengubah garis lintang menjadi UTM, karena saya ingin mengekspresikan posisi dan kesalahan dalam hal meter. Saya kemudian mengimpor data ke dalam spreadsheet. Menganalisis data Temukan rata-rata koordinat UTM (yaitu dalam meter), dan gunakan untuk menghitung posisi 8220delta X8221 dan 8220delta Y8221 dengan mengurangi mean X dan berarti Y untuk membuat dua kolom baru dalam spreadsheet. Hitung deviasi standar kolom delta X dan Y. Gunakan standar deviasi untuk menghitung radius CEP (50) menggunakan rumus berikut: di mana standar deviasi nilai easting, dan merupakan standar deviasi dari northing. Dalam hal ini, radiusnya 6,06 meter. Kemudian hitung radius 2DRMS (95) dengan rumus: jari-jari itu adalah 14,86 meter. Akhirnya, plot kolom delta X dan delta Y, dan cincin CEP dan 2DRMS untuk membantu Anda memvisualisasikan keakuratannya. Saya mempresentasikan hasil eksperimen saya, ebedded di bawah ini. Spreadsheet data yang menghasilkan bagan ini tersedia di sini. Kode untuk membuat bagan tersedia disini. Siapa pun yang mengalami masalah dalam mereproduksi hasil ini merasa bebas untuk mengirimkan email kepada saya sebuah file GPX dan saya akan mengirimkan analisis cepat tentang akurasi menggunakan metode ini. Bagi yang berminat, gambar bagan di atas disisipkan di sini, bisa digunakan dengan lisensi Creative Commons selama Anda mengkredit sumbernya (saya). Bagikan artikel ini: Saya membaca blog Anda tentang akurasi GPS (Menghitung akurasi GPS Anda sendiri) dan ini benar-benar bermanfaat untuk pria baru. Saya ingin mengajukan beberapa pertanyaan dan mohon tunjukkan cara mencapainya: 1. Alur kerja untuk menghitung keakuratan GPS adalah: Dapatkan LATLONG - gt Translate ke UTM - gt Hitung DeltaX dan DeltaY-get Sigma (Standard Deviation) - gt Dapatkan CEP (50) - gt Get 2DRMS (95) - gt Draw Scatter diagram. Bolehkah saya memperbaiki 2. Saya tidak tahu bagaimana menerjemahkan ke koordinat UTM, bahkan dari spreedsheet Anda. Sepertinya banyak matematika dalam terjemahannya. Saya menemukan beberapa halaman dan belajar sekarang (uwgb. edudutchsUsefulDataUTMFormulas. htm). Halaman ini menyediakan spreedsheet untuk menerjemahkan LATLONG ke UTM, namun ketika saya memasukkan data Anda, saya tidak bisa mendapatkan koordinat UTM yang sama. Bisakah Anda menunjukkan kepada saya bagaimana menggunakannya, atau Anda tahu ada perpustakaan yang bisa mencapainya (Java JavaScript Python dll.) 3. Dapatkah saya menggunakan JavaScript yang Anda berikan di link untuk membuat diagram Scatter Ya, langkah 1 Anda benar kecuali Saya menghitung posisi rata-rata dan menggunakannya untuk mendapatkan DeltaX dan DeltaY. Jika Anda berada di dekat titik kontrol tanah dengan posisi yang diketahui, Anda bisa menggunakannya sebagai posisi yang diketahui dan hitunglah deltaX dan Y dari sana, dan plot sebagai gantinya. Saya benar-benar menulis perangkat lunak saya sendiri untuk mengkonversi dari GPX ke CSV dengan konversi UTM. Orang lain menghubungi saya dan saya menasihatinya untuk menggunakan groundpoint converter batch online ini. usBatchConvert. aspx Ini mengandaikan Anda telah mengedit file GPX ke dalam CSV. Koordinat dalam spreadsheet saya sebenarnya adalah Mercator Transverse (bukan 8220Universal8221), atau lebih khusus lagi adalah Transformator 8220Popular Transform8221 seperti yang digunakan oleh Google, Bing dan platform pemetaan online lainnya. Anda harus bisa mendapatkan hasil yang sama dengan UTM selama Anda tidak berada di dekat batas zona. Jangan ragu untuk menggunakan javascript yang saya miliki di halaman. Saya akan tertarik untuk melihat hasil Anda jika Anda punya waktu untuk mengirim email atau mengeposkannya Juga, apakah menurut Anda ini adalah sesuatu yang harus saya tulis ke halaman web sehingga orang dapat mengunggah file GPS mereka sendiri dan saya akan menghasilkan scatterplot Maaf untuk terlambat balasan. Saya tidak berpikir CEP familar untuk pengguna akhir. Kami adalah perusahaan manufactoring sehingga kami perlu mempelajarinya. Tapi jika Anda bisa memberikan layanan on-line, saya pikir ini akan sangat populer di industri ini8230ccc Apakah Anda tahu alat DNRGPS Garmin8217s Ini bisa menguak CEP 2DRMS juga. Tapi saya menggunakannya untuk memverifikasi hasil Anda, itu sedikit varians besar. Tapi pribadi saya pikir rumus anda benar. Saya juga memiliki GPX untuk perbandingan. Apakah Anda menarik untuk membandingkan file GPX ini dengan alat Garmin dan milik Anda Terima kasih atas tipnya pada alat DNRGPS, saya pernah mendengarnya tapi tidak mengetahuinya untuk menghitung CEP. Saya akan mencobanya dengan data saya dan melihat apa yang tertulis. Ini sangat bagus untuk dimiliki pembaca seperti Anda. Ini bagus untuk mempelajari topik ini dari blog Anda. Akulah yang baru dari bidang ini dan tidak memiliki pengertian umum tentang GPS, peta dan koorinasi. Yang saya lakukan adalah mencatat garis lintang bujur pada perangkat Android, lalu terjemahkan ke UTM easting northing (WGS84 8211 ibmdeveloperworkscnjavaj-coordconvert), kemudian mendapat CEP 2DRMS. Hasilnya berbeda dengan alat Garin DNRGPS, jadi saya ingin memeriksa dengan pengalaman ahli Anda :) Saya memiliki pertanyaan mengenai file data. Saya tidak mengerti maksud dari angka di bawah delta x dan delta Y. Terima kasih Itu adalah metode yang sangat menarik, saya ingin menggunakannya untuk tesis master saya, tapi saya punya masalah untuk merencanakan diagram, saya tidak dapat mendapatkannya, well Saya mencoba membagikan spreadsheet saya namun memberi saya kesalahan. Bisakah anda membimbing saya dalam kasus ini Amir I8217m tidak yakin apa yang Anda maksud dengan nomor di bawah delta x dan delta y8221. Sedangkan untuk merencanakan koordinat, cara termudah adalah memproyeksikannya ke dalam proyeksi Mercator8221 8220Web yang merupakan jumlah meter di X dan Y dari khatulistiwa. Ini memungkinkan Anda memplot posisi dalam meter dan mengukur kesalahan pada unit yang sama. Nick Saunders mengatakan: Hai Michael Terima kasih atas perhatian Anda. Harus saya akui, saya pikir kesalahan yang ditunjukkan pada GPS saya berada pada level 95 (1.96 sd), jadi sangat menarik untuk diketahuinya tidak begitu. Aku punya pertanyaan sekalipun. Saya tinggal di Inggris dan punya tangan kedua GPSMAP 60Cx dengan Topo UK terpasang. Saya menggunakannya untuk pekerjaan konservasi, untuk membantu menemukan kotak sarang yang kami gunakan untuk korman hazel, dan baru-baru ini menggunakannya untuk mengambil lokasi penambah radio (ular berbisa kami) di perbukitan lokal kami. Saya mengambil pembacaan rata-rata (tombol pada tandai halaman Waypoint) dari kotak referensi dan biasanya menunjukkan akurasi 3-6 m dalam beberapa menit, tergantung pada seberapa jernihnya pemandangan langit. Saya juga menggunakannya untuk membantu menemukan jalan baru. Saya merencanakan semua ini menggunakan perangkat lunak Mapyx Quo di peta Inggris 1: 25000. Pertanyaan saya adalah tentang metode pengukuran keakuratan GPS Anda, karena saya selalu berpikir bahwa untuk mendapatkan kotak yang akurat, Anda harus setidaknya berjalan cukup untuk memungkinkan perangkat tersebut melakukan triangulasi dengan satelit, dan jika Anda tetap mempertahankannya. Ini stasioner akurasi akan memburuk. Apakah ini berarti bahwa ketika Anda bergerak, Anda mendapatkan CEP yang lebih kecil daripada saat stasioner atau ini salah Saya telah melakukan persidangan singkat untuk membaca saat menjaga stasioner GPS saya, dan plot dari static 8216track8217 adalah pengembaraan acak sekitar 20m Lebih dari sekitar 4 jam, padahal sebenarnya hanya di atas meja di kebun. Saya dapat melihat bahwa Anda dapat menggunakan statistik (seperti yang Anda tunjukkan) dengan sejumlah besar pengukuran dari waktu ke waktu untuk mendapatkan perkiraan posisi yang bagus dengan cara ini, namun apakah kurangnya gerakan mengurangi keakuratan perhitungan CEP Sejauh ini Saya bisa mengatakan bahwa memindahkan receiver GPS tidak diharuskan diperbaiki. Perhitungan GPS bisa secara kasar digambarkan sebagai 8220triangulasi8221 tapi matematikanya jauh lebih terlibat, dan terlalu lama untuk masuk ke sini. Cukup dengan mengatakan bahwa harus ada minimal dua, sebaiknya tiga satelit GPS yang ada dalam pandangan (menerima sinyal yang kuat) untuk mencapai tahap 8220triangulasi8221 dan hanya itu yang diperlukan. Memindahkan gagang telepon tidak membantu. Menariknya, ada sesuatu yang dapat Anda lakukan jika Anda tahu receiver Anda biasanya bergerak, seperti halnya unit GPS mobil. It8217s 8220expensive8221 untuk melakukan perhitungan untuk mendapatkan solusi, atau 8220fix8221. Jika Anda seorang pengembang unit GPS yang Anda kenal biasanya akan bergerak, Anda bisa membuang perhitungan sejak awal bila Anda tahu solusinya akan berkualitas rendah, karena sinyal buruk atau tes lain untuk jumlah Kesalahan dalam solusinya Sebagai contoh, ada efek 8220multipath8221 saat sinyal GPS memantul dari benda (bangunan, gunung dll) yang akan memperkenalkan kesalahan ke dalam perhitungan. Jika Anda bergerak, Anda bisa membuang perhitungan dan mengambil sampel lain dalam beberapa mikrodetik, bila mudah-mudahan efek multipath hilang karena receiver bergerak. Ada banyak unit lain yang bisa digunakan unit GPS bergerak untuk membuatnya terlihat seperti keakuratannya lebih tinggi daripada yang ada. Dengan menggunakan filter Kallman, unit ini bisa mencoba memprediksi posisi berikutnya berdasarkan posisi sebelumnya. Unit GPS mobil juga bisa 8220snap8221 ke jalan, sehingga terlihat sangat akurat padahal sebenarnya menebak lokasi berdasarkan kemungkinan tertinggi. Singkatnya, kurang gerak tidak menurunkan Akurasi. Perpindahan 20m yang Anda amati normal, dan sangat mirip dengan yang saya amati di sini. Sebenarnya Anda juga harus memperhatikan bahwa kesalahan sedikit menabrak orientasi utara-utara karena ketepatannya sedikit lebih rendah untuk garis lintang. WAAS diaktifkan (Kelihatannya seperti default) Manual untuk perangkat ini mengatakan bahwa dengan WAAS perangkat harus memiliki interval kepercayaan 95 sampai 3-5 meter. Yang tampaknya cukup jauh dari apa yang ditunjukkan di sini. Anda dapat mengotomatisasi salah satu proses ini dengan menentukan parameter baris perintah yang sesuai. Setelah gambar Anda geocoded. Anda dapat membuat halaman web yang menunjukkan tempat pengambilan foto. Berikut adalah beberapa contohnya: 1. Hanya tampilkan gambarnya. Tidak perlu mengetik. Lihat contoh 2. Sertakan judul gambar dan tautan kilat. Lihat contoh 3. Sertakan deskripsi gambar. Lihat contoh 4. Sertakan tracklog GPS. Lihat contoh Jika ada informasi arah yang terkait dengan gambar, ikon akan mencakup panah yang mengarah ke arah gambar diambil. Opsional, Jika Anda tidak memiliki foto dan hanya ingin membuat halaman web yang menunjukkan tracklog Anda. Anda bisa melakukannya juga. Web browser biasanya tidak mendukung format RAW, jadi Anda perlu mengubahnya menjadi JPG sebelum melakukan operasi ini. Anda harus menentukan beberapa opsi untuk halaman web, informasi tentang track track GPS dan apakah Anda ingin memasukkannya, dan, opsional, judul dan deskripsi untuk setiap gambar. Berikut adalah rincian di bawah ini: Google Key (Wajib) Masukkan Kunci Google API Anda ke bidang ini. Sepertinya kata yang sangat panjang mengandung karakter yang tampaknya acak. Untuk menghindari kesalahan, jangan mencoba mengetikkannya ke lapangan - sisipkan saja. Jika Anda perlu mendapatkan Google Key, klik dua kali di lapangan atau klik di sini. Saat mendapatkan kunci, Anda harus menyetujui Persyaratan Penggunaan Google Maps API. Ini bisa berubah di masa depan, jadi lihat kembali sesuai kebutuhan. Jika Anda pernah mencoba memuat Google Map dan menerima kesalahannya Kunci Google Maps API yang digunakan pada situs web ini telah terdaftar untuk situs web yang berbeda. Anda bisa membuat kunci baru untuk situs web ini di googleapismaps, karena kunci yang tidak valid. Jika Anda perlu mengubah halaman web yang ada untuk menentukan kunci yang berbeda, edit file map. htm dan ulang ke server Anda. Lihat di bagian HTML HEAD dan ubah nilai parameter utama di URL JavaScript Google. Versi API (Harus Diisi) Masukkan versi Google API ke bidang ini. Ini akan berubah di masa depan dan tidak ada cara bagi RoboGEO (atau Google) untuk mengetahui apa jadinya nanti. Theres juga tidak ada jaminan bahwa API akan kompatibel. Tanggung jawab Anda untuk memastikan nomor ini mencerminkan versi API terbaru. Anda dapat menentukan versi API saat ini dengan mengklik ganda di lapangan atau dengan mengklik di sini. Cari versi. Jika halaman web yang sebelumnya Anda buat tiba-tiba berhenti bekerja dan nomor versi yang salah adalah penyebabnya, Anda perlu mengedit file map. htm secara manual dan mengulanginya kembali ke server Anda. Lihat di bagian HTML HEAD dan ubah nilai parameter v di URL JavaScript Googles. Judul Laman Web (Opsional) Masukkan judul singkat untuk laman web. Anda harus membatasi ini sesedikit mungkin kata-kata. Jika Anda membuatnya terlalu panjang, rentang seluruh peta dan tombol Googles tidak jelas. Yang digunakan di bagian TITLE HTML dan jika QuickLinks digunakan, tampilannya ditampilkan di atas itu. Di halaman contoh. Teks Acme Realty Homes for Sale miliknya. Tampilan Default (Wajib) Pilih tampilan default peta. Ini bisa berupa peta jalan, foto satelit, mode hibrida (kombinasi jalan dan satelit) atau medan. Tampilan juga bisa diubah dengan mengklik tombol di sudut kanan atas halaman web yang dihasilkan. Sertakan QuickLinks (Opsional) Centang kotak ini untuk menyertakan daftar drop-down QuickLinks di peta sudut kiri atas. Jika dicentang, Anda juga harus menentukan judul untuk setiap gambar. Di halaman contoh. Ini adalah daftar yang dimulai dengan Pilih foto .. QuickLinks memungkinkan pengunjung situs web memilih foto tanpa mengetahui lokasi peta. QuickLinks Top (Diperlukan jika menggunakan QuickLinks) Masukkan posisi teratas QuickLinks dalam piksel relatif ke bagian atas halaman web. Tujuannya adalah untuk memposisikan QuickLinks sehingga tidak mengaburkan kontrol Googles. Pada tulisan ini, nilai default dari 3 menyelesaikan tujuan itu, namun Anda mungkin perlu mengubahnya di masa depan jika Google mengubah tata letak default peta mereka. QuickLinks Left (Diperlukan jika menggunakan QuickLinks) Masukkan posisi kiri QuickLinks dalam piksel di sebelah kiri halaman web. Tujuannya adalah untuk memposisikan QuickLinks sehingga tidak mengaburkan kontrol Googles. Pada penulisan ini, nilai default dari 80 menyelesaikan tujuan itu, namun Anda mungkin perlu mengubahnya di masa depan jika Google mengubah tata letak default peta mereka. Sertakan GPS Tracklog (Opsional jika ada tracklog yang aktif) Centang kotak ini untuk menyertakan tracklog GPS aktif di peta. Jika tidak ada tracklog yang saat ini dimuat, opsi ini dan semua yang terkait akan dinonaktifkan. Jika Anda menambahkan gambar baru ke halaman web yang ada, opsi ini dan semua yang terkait akan seperti yang ditentukan sebelumnya. Jika Anda menggunakan versi demo. Tracklog akan terlihat seperti garis acak pada peta. Kesalahan acak tidak diperkenalkan dalam versi terdaftar. Tracklog Color (Diperlukan jika termasuk tracklog) Tentukan warna dalam format HTML. Ini harus berupa RRGGBB, di mana R merah, G berwarna hijau, dan B berwarna biru. Sebagai contoh, FF0000 berwarna merah, 00FF00 berwarna hijau, 0000FF berwarna biru, FFFF00 berwarna kuning, dan C0C0C0 berwarna abu-abu. Lebar Tracklog (Diperlukan jika termasuk tracklog) Masukkan lebar, dalam piksel, dari tracklog. Jika Anda menggunakan tracklog yang lebar, Anda harus mengatur opacity ke nilai rendah sehingga Anda tidak bisa menghapus elemen peta. Opacity Tracklog (Diperlukan jika termasuk tracklog) Masukkan opacity dari tracklog. Ini harus antara 0 (transparan) dan 1 (padat). Jika Anda menentukan angka yang terlalu rendah, Anda tidak akan dapat melihatnya. Jika Anda menentukan angka yang terlalu tinggi, maka akan jelaskan apa saja yang ada di bawahnya. Gunakan nilai default 0,75 jika Anda tidak yakin. Jumlah Maksimum Segmen PolyLine (Diperlukan jika termasuk tracklog) Saat merencanakan tracklog, tentukan jumlah maksimum segmen polyline yang akan digunakan. Untuk merawat setiap titik track track GPS secara berturut-turut sebagai segmen polyline, tentukan angka yang melebihi jumlah titik tracklog yang mungkin. Tujuannya di sini adalah untuk menentukan angka setinggi mungkin tanpa secara dramatis meningkatkan ukuran atau waktu pemrosesan file HTML. Semuanya sama, ini seharusnya tidak lebih dari beberapa ratus poin. Setiap 100 polylines menambahkan sekitar 5kb ke file HTML, jadi jika Anda menentukan 2000, ukuran file HTML yang dihasilkan akan meningkat 100kb, yang mungkin terlalu besar untuk pengunjung situs web. Juga, waktu pemrosesan meningkat dengan meningkatnya polylines, terutama di browser web non-IE. Di halaman contoh. Warna tracklog berwarna merah (FF0000), dengan lebar 2 piksel, sebuah opacity dari 0,75, dan 500 segmen polyline. Garis tebal (4 atau 5 piksel) dengan opacity rendah (0,25 atau lebih) juga terlihat bagus. Judul Gambar (Diperlukan jika menggunakan QuickLinks) Masukkan judul gambar. Anda harus membatasi panjang menjadi 2 atau 3 kata. Jika ditentukan, judul gambar akan muncul dalam daftar QuickLinks dan di atas gambar di jendela info Googles. Judul gambar hanya diperlukan jika Anda menggunakan QuickLinks atau jika Anda ingin teks muncul di atas gambar thumbnail di jendela info. The default image title is determined by looking for non-empty values from the following places in the order listed: 1. The image title that may have been previously entered 2. The EXIF Image Description tag 3. The IPTC Headline tag 4. The image file name Include Dictation (Optional) If checked and if an audio file is associated with the current image, an HTML link to the dictation file will be included in the description. The word or phrase that contains the link is per the GmapDictationLinkText preference. The default value is Dictation, but you can use any phrase you desire such as Click here to listen to the audio. Image Description (Optional) Enter the image description. Press the enter key twice to insert a new paragraph. Unless youre trying to manually control the width of the text lines by pressing the enter key, let the text automatically wrap from line to line. Google Maps does a good job of formatting the text when there are no carriage returns. You dont have to manually enter HTML ltbrgt tags - the program automatically converts carriage returns to those. You can include simple HTML markup if you choose. The default image description is determined by looking for non-empty values from the following places in the order listed: 1. The image description that may have been previously entered 2. The EXIF User Comment tag 3. The IPTC CaptionAbstract 4. Blank Save the Title and Description (Optional) Check the appropriate box to save the current title and description to the images EXIF andor IPTC headers. The process is lossless and all of the existing comments are preserved. The program automatically reads this information when it loads an image, so saving it now will prevent you from having to retype it in the future. Merge EXIFIPTC fields into the Title or Description (Optional) Click the Merge button to merge the value of a specific EXIF or IPTC field into either the title or description. Upon clicking, a form will load that lists all of the non-empty fields for the current image. The bracketed field name that you select will be copied to the Windows clipboard so that you can paste it. There are 179 possible fields. but you can only choose from those that exist in the current image and contain non-empty data. The merging process is similar to what you would do in a word processor. For example, if your description is My camera is a Model and this photo was taken with a shutter speed of ShutterSpeedth of a second, the output would be My camera is a Canon PowerShot A75 and this photo was taken with a shutter speed of 1250th of a second. Select the Include descriptive text too checkbox if you want to include descriptive text before the merged field. For example, instead of just pasting ShutterSpeed to the clipboard, it would paste Shutter Speed: ShutterSpeed. This merging feature is especially powerful when its used in conjunction with a template file. Just include the bracketed merge fields in it just as you would normal text. Load a Template (Optional) Click the Load button to load an existing image description template. Youll be prompted whether to apply it to all of the current images. If you select No, itll only be applied to the current image. Save Image Description as Template (Optional) Click this button to save the current image description as a template. Using this will save time when you need a consistently formatted description for each image. For example, if youre entering real estate information, you may want your template to look like: Price: Rooms: Lot Size: School District: Built: Then, for each image, all you need to do is fill in the blanks. Or, using the merging capability, you could have a template that looks like: Model: Model Exposure Time: ExposureTime Shutter Speed: ShutterSpeed Aperture: Aperture Flash Fired: FlashFired F Number: FNumber Digital Zoom Ratio: DigitalZoomRatio That would allow you to create a standard description thats used for all of your images without you having to do any typing. That would be especially useful if your images always contain IPTC data. Clear Image Description (Optional) Press this button to erase the current image description. Create New Webpage or Add to an Existing One (Required) You can either create a new webpage or add the current image(s) to an existing one. When you select an existing webpage, the parameters associated with it (webpage title, whether to include the tracklog, etc.) are loaded into the form. Create the Webpage (Required) Click this button to create all of the required HTML files. These include map. htm (the main HTML file), map. xml (the Google Maps markers file), robogeo. xml (an XML file that contains all of the webpages information), all of the images, and thumbnails of each image. You can then upload all of the files to the server folder associated with your Google Maps API key. Note that because of Googles API key requirement, you cant view these files on your local computer in your web browser. Note: You can change the name of the main output files from map. htm and map. xml to something different by setting the GmapHtmlFileName program option. After the webpage is created, the output folder is automatically loaded in Windows Explorer. A quick way to upload these to the server folder associated with your Google API key is to highlight all of the files (Ctrl-A), right-click on the highlighted files, then select the Web Publishing Wizard under the Send To menu. Youll need to create the FTP account before doing this. Once uploaded, check the webpage. If you need to make changes, do so and then click the Create Google Map button again. Repeat this process until youre happy with the results. When done, click the Close button. If you dont like the map. htm file that the program outputs, then create your own and only use the map. xml file. You can also apply an XSLT transformation on robogeo. xml to create a new map. htm file. There are additional options in the program preferences that you can specify. If you want to automatically make changes to the generated map. htm andor map. xml file, you can do so by creating a specially formatted XML file named GoogleMapSearchReplace. xml and placing it in the My DocumentsRoboGEOGoogleMaps directory. If it exists, itll be processed after the webpage is created. In the file you specify words to search for and, if they exist, what to replace them with. The searches are case sensitive. The format of the file is as follows: ltgoogleeditgt ltedithtml search replace gt ltedithtml search replace gt ltedithtml search replace gt etc. with the edit html tag. lteditxml search replace gt lteditxml search replace gt lteditxml search replace gt etc. with the edit xml tag. ltgoogleeditgt Note you can searchreplace on both map. htm and map. xml. If you manually edit map. xml and then reupload it to the server, you wont be able to see the changes by simply refreshing the page in your web browser. Youll need to close your web browser and then reopen the page in a new web browser instance. You may also need to empty your browsers cache. If you manually edit the html attribute values in map. xml, be sure that it remains well formed. To accomplish that, replace your less than symbols (lt) with amplt . greater than symbols (gt) with ampgt . ampersands (amp) with ampamp . quotation marks () with ampquot . and apostrophes () with ampapos . If you dont the parser will get confused and think your HTML is XML markup. In addition to map. htm, map. xml, and the associated image files, the program also creates a file named robogeo. xml and places it in same output directory as the others. It contains all of the information associated with the webpage and you can use it for whatever purpose you require. Once youve loaded a GPS tracklog or have georeferenced some images. you can export a KML or KMZ file for importing into Google Earth. Google Earth is a 3D interface to the planet. You can download the application by clicking on the graphic below: NOTE: Theres a bug in Google Earth 6.1.0.5001 that prevents it from loading images in placemark balloons when the image is specified as an absolute local path. To work around this, use an earlier version of Google Earth (such as 6.0.3.2197) or select either the KMZ with Images or KMZ for the Web output format. A KML file is XML format and contains information about the points, lines and text to display in Google Earth. A KMZ file is simply a zip compressed KML file with a. KMZ extension. KMZ is the default Google Earth format, but the program can import either. KML files are easily readable. KMZ files are relatively small. KML stands for Keyhole Markup Language. Unlike other areas of the program, you dont have to load and georeference images before exporting to Google Earth - all thats required is to download a GPS tracklog or to import a GPX file. This enables you to use RoboGEO are your normal GPX viewer or as a way to converta GPX file to KML or KMZ format. This is demonstrated in two of the examples below. If theres direction information associated with the images, the icons will include arrows that point in the direction that the picture was taken. You can use thumbnail images for the Google Earth icons by specifying the GeUsePhotoThumbnailIcons option. Your can specify the various icon files and where theyre loaded from by setting the desired preferences. Google Earth doesnt support support RAW formats, so youll need to convert these to a compatible format (like JPG) before performing this operation. If youre using Google Earth v5.0 or later and if your photos are not displaying in the placemark flyout ballons, you may need to check the box titled Allow placemark balloons to access local files and personal data option under the General tab via the Tools--Options pull-down menu. If your image file names contain anything other than low (7-bit) ASCII characters, Google Earth may not be able to access and display them. The use of higher ASCII characters (8-bit) is common outside of the USA. To work around this issue and if youre exporting KMZ files with embedded images, you can set the GeRenameKmzImagesUsingLowAscii option to True. Before exporting, youll need to specify what type of file you want to export and the related information. These are detailed below: Output Format (Required) You can choose from 4 different output formats. Each has its own advantages and scenario where it would be the most appropriate choice. 1. KML . This is an XML format file that links to the images on your local computer. The advantage of this format is that its easily readable. You should not select this option if the local paths to the images will change, if file size is a concern, or if you intend to share the KML file with others. 2. KMZ . This is a zip compressed KML file with a KMZ extension. The advantage of this format is that its much smaller than the corresponding KML file. You should not select this option if you want to easily read it, if the local paths to the images will change, or if you intend to share the KMZ file with others. Note: If you want to inspect a KMZ file, rename it with a. ZIP file extension and then open it with any ZIP utility. 3. KMZ with Images . This is a zip compressed file that contains the KML file and resized copies of the full-size images. The advantage of this format is that everything is self-contained and it wont matter if the local paths to the images change. You can also share it with others, but the option below would be a better choice if you have the web server space to store the full-size images. You should not select this option if you want the smaller file size that the KMZ for the Web output format offers. 4. KMZ for the Web . This is a zip compressed file that contains the KML file with thumbnails of each full-size image. The advantage of this format is that everything is self-contained, yet it has a small file size. This option requires the full-size images to exist on a web server and that you specify the URL in the associated box. When this format is viewed in Google Earth, the thumbnails instantly appear in the placemark flyout windows(instead of scaled copies of the full-size images) along with a link to view the full-size image. This output format is intended for use with a normal web hosting account where the image filenames are preserved after theyre uploaded. Most photo sharing sites (like Flickr) rename newly uploaded photos. You should not use this option if you dont have the web server space to store the images or if you dont intend to share it with others. Note: If you have a loaded tracklog with no associated images, you can only select from the first two options. In either case, since there are no image links, you can safely share it with others. Everything being equal, select the KMZ with Images option if youll only be viewing the file on your local computer or if you intend to share it with others but dont have the web server space to store the full-size images. Otherwise, select the KMZ for the Web option. Image Folder or URL (Required with KMZ for the Web) This field is only required if you select the KMZ for the Web output format and, in that case, you must specify a URL that points to the folder where the full-size images are located. For example, you should specify something like yourdomainfolder. Note that Google Earth doesnt currently support secure HTTP (https) or other protocols like FTP. For the other 3 output formats, you can optionally specify a local folder or URL where the full size images are located. When you do that, the program will look for the image files in that location instead of the images current local path. If you specify a URL, Google Earth will have to retrieve the full-size image from the web when an image placemark is clicked. During that time, the image placeholder will be gray as if the image doesnt exist. Just be patient - when the image download completes itll appear in the flyout window. Scale (or Resize) Maximum Dimension (Required) Specify the maximum pixel dimensions of the image that displays in the Google Earth flyout window. The flyout window is what displays when you click on a point in the Google Earth client. If you select the KMZ for the Web or KMZ wImages output format, this will represent the maximum dimensions of the resized images that will exist within the KMZ file. For the other 2 output options, its the maximum scaled (not resized) dimensions that displays in the flyout window. The default values should be appropriate. The aspect ratio of the full-size image is always maintained and your original images will not be altered. If you want your images to display full size, enter an arbitrary number thats larger than the largest image dimension, like 9999. Stamp the Images (Optional) Check this box if you want to stamp the images before exporting. Stamping the images by checking this box is equivalent to stamping the images from the main form. except the original images are always stamped and the EditOriginalImages preference setting is ignored. This doesnt matter when youre exporting KMZ with Images since the images inside of the KMZ file are already copies of the original images. All of the other image stamping options still apply. Write to the EXIF (Optional) Check this box if you want to write the location data to the EXIF before exporting. Writing the EXIF to the images by checking this box is equivalent to writing the EXIF to the images from the main form. except the original images are always written to and the EditOriginalImages preference setting is ignored. This doesnt matter when youre exporting KMZ with Images since the images inside of the KMZ file are already copies of the original images. All of the other image writing options still apply. Altitude Mode (Required) Select how you want to interpret altitude values. What you select controls how image placemarks, trackpoint placemarks, photo routes, and tracklog polylines are plotted on the map. The program forces clampedToGround if there is no altitude data. This can occur if youre using an older Garmin GPS that doesnt support altitudes or if the altitudes were missing from an imported GPX file. 1. Clamped to the ground . This is the default value and should be your normal selection. It causes the program to ignore the altitude values and to clamp everything to the ground. This results in placemarks being plotted exactly on the earths surface and tracklogs flowing smoothly over the earths terrain. 2. Relative to the ground . This treats the altitude values as being relative to the earths surface. Normally, since GPS units record absolute values, you should only select this option if you manually created a GPX file and intentionally used relative altitude values in it. Selecting this option with a normal GPS tracklog, though inaccurate, is a good way to illustrate the programs 3-D capabilities. 3. Absolute . This treats the altitude values as absolute, like Google Earth uses. You should usually only select this option if youre substantially above the earths surface, like if youre flying in an airplane or climbing a tall man made structure. If you select this option when using a GPS tracklog, it can cause some of the tracklog polylines to go below the earths surface, making them invisible in the Google Earth client. For example, this can happen if you go over a hill between the recording of two successive trackpoints. Root Caption Title (Required) This is the main title of the KML or KMZ file and will appear in the left hand pane of the Google Earth client for the root element. You should specify something short and descriptive like, Mt. Olympus Hike. Its also used as the basis for the default output file name with all illegal characters removed. For the example above and if creating a KML file, the default file path would be Drive:OutputPathMtOlympusHike. kml. Include Tracklog (Optional) Check this box if you want to include the tracklog. This will appear as a thin line in the Google Earth Client. Include Trackpoints (Optional) Check this box if you want to include the individual trackpoints. These will appear as small circles that, when clicked, display various information about that particular point. In some instances there will be missing or unknown information. For example, if you import a GPX tracklog without trackpoint timestamps, anything relating to time (ground speed, time elapsed, etc.) will be missing. Likewise, if youre using an older Garmin GPS that doesnt record altitude information, all of the altitude related information will be missing too. The information includes: Trackpoint Time . The local time when the track point was recorded. Latitude . The latitude expressed in decimal degrees. Positive values are north of the equator. Longitude . The longitude expressed in decimal degrees. Positive values are east of Greenwich England. UTM Coordinates . The location expressed in the Universal Transverse Mercator system. MGRS Coordinates . The location expressed in the Military Grid Reference System. Heading . The decimal degree heading. 0 is north, 90 is east, 180 is south, and 270 is west. Slope . The slope of the terrain between 2 successive trackpoints, calculated by dividing the change in height by the change in horizontal distance and then expressed as a percentage. This value can be unrealistic over very short distances. Distance Completed . The percentage of the total tracklog distance traveled. Distance Traveled . The total distance traveled. Distance Remaining . The total remaining distance. Net Distance . The great circle distance from the current point to the starting point. Net Distance Remaining . The great circle distance from the current point to the ending point. Altitude . The current altitude, expressed approximately above sea level. Altitude Completed . The percentage of the vertical distance traveled between the tracklogs minimum and maximum altitudes. Net Altitude . The vertical distance from the current altitude to the starting altitude. Net Altitude Remaining . The vertical distance from the current altitude to the ending altitude. Time Completed . The percentage of the total tracklog time completed. Time Elapsed . The elapsed time since the starting point. Time Remaining . The time until the ending point. Ground Speed . The horizontal speed. This value can be unrealistic over very short distances. Moving Average . The ground speed calculated by averaging the speed of the 10 preceding trackpoints. Vertical Speed . The vertical speed. This value can be unrealistic when using a small tracklog recording interval, especially in an area of poor GPS reception. Acceleration . The velocitys rate of change. This value can be unrealistic over very short distances. Treat the Tracklog as One Tracklog Segment (Optional) A GPS tracklog can contain multiple segments. A new segment is created under various conditions like when tracklog recording is started, when the GPS signal is reacquired after being lost, when new batteries are inserted, etc. Check this box if you want all of the tracklog segments treated as one. Regardless of whether this box is checked, the program will still analyze the tracklog as if it was one segment. If you dont check the box the program will also analyze each trackpoint segment and list them individually in the Google Earth left hand pane hierarchy, so you can always delete them without affecting the other segments or the entire tracklog. Note: When you save a tracklog in a Garmin GPS unit, the trackpoint times are lost. So, if you have saved tracklogs the statistical data relating to time and speed will be listed as Unknown. Having multiple tracklogs in your GPS unit can cause unexpected results when they are analyzed or displayed as one. One example is having the end of one tracklog segment being connected to the beginning of the next segment. That wouldnt be desirable if you intentionally recorded multiple segments. However, it would be if the multiple segments were unintentional like if the GPS repeatedly lost satellite reception. Normally, you should erase all of the tracklogs in your GPS prior to recording a new one to prevent these ill effects. If you have a substantial number of trackpoints and if youre not treating all of the tracklog segments as one, the size of the resulting KML file could become a issue. Every 400 trackpoints will contribute about 1 MB to the KML file size. Compressing it by specifying a KMZ output type will reduce the file size by about a factor or 15. Customize the Tracklog (Optional) Click this button if you want to specify custom values for the tracklog display. You can specify the line thickness, opacity and color(s). The thickness is expressed in pixels with one pixel being the default. If you want a thicker line width, a number between 4 and 8 would be appropriate. The opacity value can range between 0 (invisible) and 255. The default is 255, which is completely solid. You can colorize the tracklog either with a constant color (red is the default) or with colors that correspond to the various ranges of altitude, speed, heading, slope, acceleration, moving average, or vertical speed. For example, if you were flying in an airplane, you may want the tracklog color to be green when below 1000m AGL, yellow when between 1000m AGL and 3000m AGL, and red when above 3000m AGL. If youre hiking, you may want to colorize the track based on slope. You can specify up to 18 colors and the minmax numbers associated with each. To change the color for a given range, click on the color block. To auto-populate the ranges associated with each color based on the currently loaded tracklog, press the Auto Fill button. Image Title (Required) Enter the image title. You should limit the length to 1 or 2 words. If you dont specify a title, the program will use the image filename. The title is used as the image caption in the left hand pane of the Google Earth client. It also appears next to the placemark on the map, so if its too long your map will become cluttered. The default image title is determined by looking for non-empty values from the following places in the order listed: 1. The image title that may have been previously entered 2. The EXIF Image Description tag 3. The IPTC Headline tag 4. The image file name Title Maker (Optional) Click this button to load the Title Maker. Include Dictation (Optional) If checked and if an audio file is associated with the current image, an HTML link to the dictation file will be included in the description. The word or phrase that contains the link is per the GmapDictationLinkText preference. The default value is Dictation, but you can use any phrase you desire such as Click here to listen to the audio. Image Description (Optional) Enter the image description. Press the enter key twice to insert a new paragraph. Unless youre trying to manually control the width of the text lines by pressing the enter key, let the text automatically wrap from line to line. Google Earth does a good job of formatting the text when there are no carriage returns. You can include basic HTML markup in the description, but nothing advanced. The layout of the Google Earth flyout window will depend on the output format that you select. With KMZ for the web, the description will appear on the left and the thumbnail image on the right. With the other output formats, the scaled image will be below the description. The default image description is determined by looking for non-empty values from the following places in the order listed: 1. The image description that may have been previously entered 2. The EXIF User Comment tag 3. The IPTC CaptionAbstract 4. Blank Save the Title and Description (Optional) Check the appropriate box to save the current title and description to the images EXIF andor IPTC headers. The process is lossless and all of the existing comments are preserved. The program automatically reads this information when it loads an image, so saving it now will prevent you from having to retype it in the future. Merge EXIFIPTC fields into the Title or Description (Optional) Click the Merge button to merge the value of a specific EXIF or IPTC field into either the title or description. Upon clicking, a form will load that lists all of the non-empty fields for the current image. The bracketed field name that you select will be copied to the Windows clipboard so that you can paste it. There are 179 possible fields. but you can only choose from those that exist in the current image and contain non-empty data. The merging process is similar to what you would do in a word processor. For example, if your description is My camera is a Model and this photo was taken with a shutter speed of ShutterSpeedth of a second, the output would be My camera is a Canon PowerShot A75 and this photo was taken with a shutter speed of 1250th of a second. Select the Include descriptive text too checkbox if you want to include descriptive text before the merged field. For example, instead of just pasting ShutterSpeed to the clipboard, it would paste Shutter Speed: ShutterSpeed. This merging feature is especially powerful when its used in conjunction with a template file. Just include the bracketed merge fields in it just as you would normal text. Load a Template (Optional) Click the Load button to load an existing image description template. Youll be prompted whether to apply it to all of the current images. If you select No, itll only be applied to the current image. Create Photo Route (Optional) Check this box to create a route that connects the photos. In order to connect the photos in the proper order, each photo must have a valid EXIF time stamp. If any of these are missing, this option will not be available. Be sure to take a photo at both the beginning and the end if you want the generated route to represent your entire track. This is a very useful feature because it allows you to create a route without having to have a GPS. Just take the pictures, manually geotag them, then export to Google Earth. Save Image Description as Template (Optional) Click this button to save the current image description as a template. Using this will save time when you need a consistently formatted description for each image. For example, if youre entering fishing photos information, you may want your template to look like: Then, for each image, all you need to do is fill in the blanks. Or, using the merging capability, you could have a template that looks like: GPS Date Stamp: UTC GPSDateStamp GPS Latitude: GPSLatitudeRefGPSLatitude GPS Longitude: GPSLongitudeRefGPSLongitude GPS Altitude: GPSAltitude meters MSL That would allow you to create a standard description thats used for all of your images without you having to do any typing. That would be especially useful if your images always contain IPTC data. Clear Description (Required) Press this button to erase the current image description. Create KML (or KMZ) File (Required) Press this button to generate the requested output file. Upon completion and if Google Earth is installed on the computer, the file will automatically load. If nothing (seemingly) happens after pressing this button, its because the default save path (the one you last used) is no longer accessible. This can happen with paths associated with networks or removable media. You need to either wait until the Windows process terminates (a few seconds to a few minutes) so that you can specify a new path or you need to manually delete the HKEYCURRENTUSERSoftwarePretekRoboGEOGetLastSaveFolder registry key. Depending on your input, the output will include the following folders in Google Earth: Root Element . This is the parent folder for everything else. The caption is what you specified for the Root Caption Title. Waypoints . This folder contains links to each image. The title is the specified Image Title or, if one was not specified, the file name. Tracks . This folder contains the Active Log folder. Active Log . This folder contains various other folders relating to the tracklog including a plot of the actual tracklog, the tracklog points, the key trackpoints, various views, and the bounding box. If youre analyzing the individual tracklog segments, there will also be folders names Segment 1, Segment 2, etc. that contain the same sub-folders. Path . This is a child of either the Active Log or of a Tracklog Segment folder. It displays the tracklog as a thin red line. Bounding Box . This is a child of either the Active Log or of a Tracklog Segment folder. It displays a 3 dimensional box that completely encloses all of the trackpoint and photo locations. The height equals the height of the highest photo or trackpoint, so if everything is at ground level or if the altitude information is missing, itll appear to be a 2-D box on the ground. The bounding box, if visible, is partially transparent and blue. Points . This is a child of either the Active Log or of a Tracklog Segment folder. Each trackpoint displays as a small red icon that, when clicked, displays extensive statistical information about the point. Key Points . This is a child of either the Active Log or of a Tracklog Segment folder. It lists key trackpoints in the tracklog including the northernmost point, easternmost point, southernmost point, westernmost point, start point, end point, maximum altitude, minimum altitude, maximum ground speed, minimum ground speed, tracklog midpoint, distance midpoint, and time midpoint. Each key trackpoint shows as a slightly larger white icon that, when clicked, displays extensive statistical information about the point. Views . This is a child of either the Active Log or of a Tracklog Segment folder. It contains numerous views including the 8 cardinal directions and elevations ranging from 1 to 1000 miles above the surface. Routes . This folder contains the image path folder. It exists if there are loaded images and if the Create Photo Route box was checked. Path . This is a child of the Routes folder. It displays a thick yellow line that connects the photos in the order in which they were taken. It only exists if there are loaded images and if the Create Photo Route box was checked. About . This a child of the root element and it displays the time the file was generated and the software version that was used. There are additional options in the program preferences that you can specify. If you want to automatically make changes to the generated KML file, you can do so by creating a specially formatted XML file named GoogleEarthSearchReplace. xml and placing it in the My DocumentsRoboGEOGoogleEarth directory. If it exists, itll be processed after the output file is created. In the file you specify the words to search for and, if they exist, what to replace them with. The searches are case sensitive. The format of the file is as follows: ltgoogleeditgt lteditxml search replace gt lteditxml search replace gt lteditxml search replace gt etc. ltgoogleeditgt For example, if you want the tracklog width to be 4 pixels wide instead of 2, you could search for ltgeomScalegt2ltgeomScalegt and replace it with ltgeomScalegt4ltgeomScalegt. Again, XML is case sensitive. Note: unlike well formed XML, you can safely include XML within editxmls search and replace attributes. Once your images are geocoded. you can upload them to Flickr. Flickr is the internets best and most popular photo sharing service. RoboGEO creates the Flickr geotags that allow you to link your photos to various types of maps including Google Earth, Google Maps (street, satellite, hybrid, or terrain), topo maps, or aeronautical charts using the free Flickr2Map service. Heres a sample. The program also supports the Flickr Geo API which allows your Flickr photo pages to contain Map links that will locate your photos using Yahoo Maps. You can prevent this behavior or control who can view the photo locations by setting the appropriate options. You can categorize your photos by adding them to specific Flickr sets or to sets that satisfy a SmartSet filter. You can also merge specific EXIF or IPTC fields into the photo titles, tags and descriptions. You must have a Flickr account before uploading. Sign up here. Its free and only takes a few minutes. If your list contains any RAW formats, youll need to convert them to JPG before proceeding. Before uploading youll need to specify a few options as described below. Select Flickr Account (Required) Select the Flickr account from the drop down list. Upon selection, the program will communicate with Flickr to verify the previously issued account token and to obtain the accounts current photo set information. Depending on Flickrs responsiveness, this can take up to several seconds. Add a Flickr Account (Required) Click this button to add a Flickr account to the list of accounts that RoboGEO is authorized to access. Without your authorization, RoboGEO cant access your Flickr account. To complete the authorization process, follow the on-screen instructions. Upon completion, the account will appear in the drop down list. Youll only need to do this once for each Flickr account. Flickr Account Quota Click this button to display the Flickr quotas for the currently selected account. Remove Flickr Account Click this button to remove the currently selected account from the drop down list. Removing an account does not delete it from Flickr - it only removes it from the list of accounts that RoboGEO recognizes. Photo Permissions - Viewing Indicate whether the uploaded photos are public or private. Public photos are viewable by anyone on the internet. Your photos must be public if youre linking to the Flickr2Map service in the photo descriptions. Private photos are only viewable by your Flickr friends, family, neither, or both. Photo Permissions - Adding Comments Indicate who is authorized to leave comments about the photos. Comments appear below the image in a message forum format. You should normally let anyone leave comments. Photo Permissions - Adding Notes or Tags Indicate who is authorized to leave notes or tags. Notes allow you to comment about a specific area of the photo. Tags serve as the images metadata and describe the image for non-humans. You should normally only allow highly trusted contacts to leave notes and tags. Select a Photo Set (Required) Select the Flickr photoset that will contain all of the newly uploaded photos. You can also choose not to include the photos in a photoset or to categorize them based on your SmartSet filters. This list is populated with the existing photosets each time you select a Flickr account. The list also includes the photosets that you have queued for creation. Create a Photo Set (Optional) Upon clicking this button a form will load that allows you to define a new Flickr photoset. On it you must select the new photosets default photo, the title and (optionally) the description. The new photoset will be created after the default photo is uploaded. Important note: If you have a free Flickr account, the maximum number of photosets you can create, as of this writing, is 3. A Flickr Pro Account allows you to have an unlimited number of photosets. Define SmartSet Filters (Required if using SmartSets) If you select the Use the SmartSet Definitions item in the list of Flickr photosets, newly uploaded photos will be placed in new or existing photosets based on the image tags. When you click this button a form will load that allows you to define a SmartSet filter for each existing or new Flickr photoset. You can also specify the photoset that will hold any photos that dont satisfy any of the SmartSet filters. With SmartSet filters you can accomplish, in effect, something like, If a photo contains the tags Montana and hike add it to my Western USA Adventures photoset or If a photo does not contain the tag personal add it to my Business Related photoset or If a photo contains fluffy or fido or fishy add it to My Pets photoset or If a photoset does not satisfy any of my SmartSet filters add it to my Uncategorized photoset . HTTP Proxy Settings (Required is behind an HTTP Proxy Server) If youre on a computer network thats behind an HTTP proxy server, youll need to specify the proxys address, port, username and password. Contact your network administrator if you encounter difficulties. RoboGEO uses no form of non-Flickr authentication and port 80 for all HTTP communication when there is no HTTP proxy server defined. Automatically Resize Photos Before uploading, you can automatically resize your photos to the maximum dimension that you specify here. The aspect ratios and EXIFIPTC data is preserved during the resize. The images will not be resized if they are already sized to or are smaller than this dimension, i. e. images are never enlarged. Your original images will be overwritten if you have the program configured to do so. If not, theyll first be copied to a temporary directory and then processed from there. When resizing a JPG, the image data must be recompressed. The amount of compression depends on the image quality that you have specified. Flickr imposes file size limits on the photos that you can upload, which is 5.2 MB as of this writing. If your photos are larger than that, you must resize them. You should also resize them so theyll fit nicely in a web browser window. Normally, you should have this box checked and 800 specified for the maximum pixel dimension Image Title (Required) Enter the image title. This should typically be only a few words in length with important words capitalized. Each photo must have a title. The default image title is determined by looking for non-empty values from the following places in the order listed: 1. The image title that may have been previously entered 2. The EXIF Image Description tag 3. The IPTC Headline tag 4. The image file name Flickr Tags (Optional) Enter a space delimited list of keywords for the image. These words serve as metadata on Flickr and are used with RoboGEOs SmartSet filters. The program automatically adds the Flickr geotags based on the photos location. These tags look like: geotagged geo:lat35.123456 geo:lon-103.987654 geo:dir135 These 4 tags are used by various 3rd party applications to provide mapping capabilities for Flickr photos. The geotagged tag is added to provide compatibility with those applications. The Flickr2Map service uses only the 3 geo tags. Image Description (Optional) Enter the image description. Allow the text to automatically wrap within the text box for best results. To include a new paragraph, press the enter key twice. Flickr will recognize a limited amount of HTML markup in the description, so you can include that as well. You dont have to enter HTML line breaks (ltbrgt) - the program does that automatically by converting the carriage returns. Check the Include Flickr2Map Links to automatically include (or exclude) the Flickr2Map links at the beginning of the description. The link to a topo map will be omitted if the photos location falls outside of the USA. Save the Title and Description (Optional) Check the appropriate box to save the current title, description, and keywords to the images EXIF andor IPTC headers. Note: since there is no associated EXIF field, keywords are only saved to the IPTC header. The process is lossless and all of the existing comments are preserved. The program automatically reads this information when it loads an image, so saving it now will prevent you from having to retype it in the future. Merge EXIFIPTC fields into the Title, Tags or Description (Optional) Click the Merge button to merge the value of a specific EXIF or IPTC field into either the title, tags or description. Upon clicking, a form will load that lists all of the non-empty fields for the current image. The bracketed field name that you select will be copied to the Windows clipboard so that you can paste it. There are 179 possible fields. but you can only choose from those that exist in the current image and contain non-empty data. The merging process is similar to what you would do in a word processor. For example, if your description is My camera is a Model and this photo was taken with a shutter speed of ShutterSpeedth of a second, the output would be My camera is a Canon PowerShot A75 and this photo was taken with a shutter speed of 1250th of a second. Select the Include descriptive text too checkbox if you want to include descriptive text before the merged field. For example, instead of just pasting ShutterSpeed to the clipboard, it would paste Shutter Speed: ShutterSpeed. This merging feature is especially powerful when its used in conjunction with a template file. Just include the bracketed merge fields in it just as you would normal text. Load a Template (Optional) Click the Load button to load an existing image description template. Youll be prompted whether to apply it to all of the current images. If you select No, itll only be applied to the current image. Save Image Description as Template (Optional) Click this button to save the current image description as a template. Using this will save time when you need a consistently formatted description for each image. For example, if youre entering information for a recent hike, you may want your template to look like: Then, for each image, all you need to do is fill in the blanks. Or, using the merging capability, you could have a template that looks like: Model: Model Exposure Time: ExposureTime Shutter Speed: ShutterSpeed Aperture: Aperture Flash Fired: FlashFired F Number: FNumber Digital Zoom Ratio: DigitalZoomRatio That would allow you to create a standard description thats used for all of your images without you having to do any typing. That would be especially useful if your images always contain IPTC data. Clear Image Description (Optional) Press this button to erase the current image title, tags and description. Upload to Flickr (Required) Once youve specified all of the required information, click this button to upload the images to Flickr. If the required information is invalid or if uploading the photos would result in you exceeding your Flickr quotas, youll be advised. As the uploads proceed, status information will be displayed at the bottom of the form. The amount of time that it takes will depend on the size and number of photos and the speed of your internet connection. After the photos are uploaded, each photo will be added to the specified photoset. If, for reasons relating to Flickr account quotas, a photo cant be placed in the requested photoset, youll need to manually remedy the situation from the Flickr website. Upon completion, your web browser will load Flickr where you can further edit the photo titles, tags and descriptions. When youre satisfied, submit them to complete the process. Once youve loaded a GPS tracklog or have geocoded some images, you can export a shapefile for loading into programs such as ArcView. Unlike other areas of the program, you dont have to load and geocode images before exporting the shapefile - all thats required is to download a GPS tracklog or to import a GPX file. If the paths to the images will change after you export the shapefile and if the new path will be the same as the shapefile, you should set the ShapefileWriteFullPath preference setting to False. Before exporting, youll need to specify a few options as described below: Specify the Basename (Required) A shapefile actually consists of 3 different files. Each share the same name, but have a different file extension. The basename is used to name the files. For example, if you use the basename MyShapeFile and export a point shapefile, the files will be named MyShapeFile-points. shp, MyShapeFile-points. shx, and MyShapeFile-points. dbf. Likewise, if you use the same basename and export a line shapefile, the filenames would be MyShapeFile-lines. shp, MyShapeFile-lines. shx, and MyShapeFile-lines. dbf. You can change the default basename suffixes (-points or - lines) by setting the ShapefileLinesFileSuffix and ShapefilePointsFileSuffix options. Select the Output Folder (Required) The shapefile files will be saved to this folder. If files with the same name already exist, theyll be overwritten. Select the Output Type (Required) You can export point shapefiles, line shapefiles, or both. Point shapefiles represent the geocoded photos. This option will be unavailable if no photos exist. Line shapefiles represent the GPS tracklog. This option will be unavailable if there is no tracklog, as would be the case if you manually geocoded the photos or if you did so from the GPS waypoints. Export Projection File(s) (Required) Check this box to export a projection file along with the shapefile(s). Projection files have a. PRJ file extension and they define the shapefiles coordinate system. There are several predefined ellipsoids for you can choose from. You can also define your own, along with the associated equatorial radius and inverse flattening values, by typing them into their respective boxes. Specify a URL Folder (Optional) If you specify a URL in this field, the program will create an additional attribute field named Url in the point shapefile. For example, if you want to have the same URL for all photos, you could enter something like yourdomaincontact. htm. This is optional and is ignored if left blank. Append the Image Filename to the End of the URL (Optional) Check this box if you want to append the image filename to the end of the URL specified above. For example, if you specify a URL of yourdomainfolder and have an image named image. jpg, the URL attribute would become yourdomainfolderimage. jpg. The purpose of this is to allow linking to the full size image when all of the images exist in a specific folder on a web server. EXIFIPTC Attributes (Optional) Select the EXIF andor IPTC field(s) that you want to include in the output. For each item that you select, an additional text field will be added to the database. The fields will contain the string representation of the selected item. If an image doesnt contain a selected field, a blank string will be written. Export the Shapefile(s) (Required) Click this button to export the shapefile(s). Upon completion, the output folder will be loaded. Once youve loaded a GPS tracklog or have geocoded some images, you can export a DXF file thats compatible with most vector based drawing programs such as AutoCAD or IntelliCAD. Unlike other areas of the program, you dont have to load and geocode images (though you can) before exporting a DXF file - all thats required is to download a GPS tracklog or to import a GPX file. The exported DXF file is in AutoCAD 2000 format. You should typically insert the generated DXF file as a block into a new layer within an existing DWG file. By inserting it into a new layer, you can easily control the properties of the generated entities. The insertion base point is either the location of the 1st photo or the location of the 1st GPS trackpoint if no photos exist. If, when inserting, you see that the scale is wrong because you specified the wrong units in RoboGEO, change it before inserting. For the imperial system, this will typically be either .08333 or 12. Note that changing the scale will also change the size of the donuts and may make them smaller (or bigger) than you like. After inserting and upon selecting a solid circle (donuts) at a photo location, use ctrl-click in AutoCAD to view the image. Youll need to specify the options described below before exporting the DXF file: Units (Required) When the program converts the latitude and longitude values to drawing units, it needs to know how big a unit is. This should match the unit size of the drawing into which you intend to insert the DXF file. To determine the physical units of an existing drawing, measure the number of units for a known distance. For example, if you know a road is 100 feet wide and 1200 units are used to represent it, specify inches in RoboGEO. If its represented with 100 units, specify feet. In AutoCAD 2006 and possibly other versions, youll also need to specify the insertion scale units. Thats specified on the UNITS screen in AutoCAD (type UNITS at the ACAD prompt). This should match what you enter in RoboGEO. The DXF files default unit settings (Imperial or Metric) will be set per the units. For example, if you select centimeters for the units, metric will be used. Imperial will be used if inches, feet, yards or miles is selected. Include the Tracklog (Optional) Check this box to include the GPS tracklog as a single entity polyline in the DXF file. If no tracklog is loaded, this option will be disabled. Photo Entity Diameter (Required) Enter the diameter of the solid circle that represents the photo location. The number that you enter should be expressed in the drawing units of the DWG file into which you intend to insert the DXF file and should be sized so that its in proportion to the rest of the drawing. If your drawing represents an area 2 miles long and if you specify a diameter of 12 inches, you wont be able to see the clickable entities at each photo location. The entity is a filled circle which is equivalent to an AutoCAD donut with the diameter of the inner circle set to 0 with an outer circle having a thickness equal to half the overall diameter. The circles are represented in the DXF file as closed polylines. Photo Entity Text (Required) Select the text that you want to include next to each photo entity. Select No Text if you dont want to include any text. The other text options all relate to the photo that the entity represents and includes the image file name, the location (latlonalt or UTM coordinates), the EXIF time, the EXIF title and the IPTC headline. Photo Entity Text Size (Required) Enter the height of the text. The number that you enter should be expressed in the drawing units of the DWG file into which you intend to insert the DXF file. Image Location (Required) The images can exist either on the local computer or on a web server. If you select the Images exist in a folder on the web, youll need to upload all of the photos to a common folder on the web and then specify the associated URL in the box below. If youre storing the images on the web, the complete image URL is constructed by appending the local images filename to the end of the URL. For example, if an images local path is c:folderimage. jpg and if the URL field is yourdomainphotos, the URL yourdomainphotosimage. jpg will be saved to the entitys hyperlink extended data. You can also use this feature to specify a different local path. In either case, the file name is simply appended to the end of whatever you specify in the URL field Export the DXF File (Required) Click this button to export the DXF file. Upon completion and if you have an application associated with DXF files, itll be loaded. Otherwise, youll just be advised that the DXF file was saved. Select this option to export a file that can be imported into Microsofts MapPoint or Streets and Trips. You can export either the photo locations or the GPS tracklog. From either program, select the Import Data Wizard from the Data pull-down menu to import it. When prompted for the field delimiter, choose semi-colon. Note: In MapPoint you can link to the actual image. Streets and Trips only allows you to view the image information. This option allows you to export a GPX file containing the currently loaded information. You can export the photos as a list of waypoints andor as the basis for route. You can also include the tracklog in the output. Set the GpxImagePathInWaypointComment preference if you want to write the image file path to the waypoint comment fields instead of the image title. You should do this if youll be loading the program into a 3rd party utility that can make use of it. Set the GpxImageTitleAsWaypointName preference if you want to use the image title (instead of the filename) for the waypoint name. If you do this you need to ensure that all of the titles are unique. Set the various Memory-Map options to export GPX files that are suitable for importing into Memory-Map or, if youre using Garmins MapSource program, set those options. Once youve geocoded the images, you can upload the associated locations as waypoints back to a connected Garmin GPS unit that supports and is configured to use the Garmin Protocol. Youll first be prompted for a waypoint identifier prefix. This will be used to create unique, sequentially numbered, waypoint names. For example, if you enter HIKE, the waypoints will be named HIKE1, HIKE2, HIKE3, etc. The number of digits (or zero placeholders) that will be appended to the end of the prefix will depend on the number of images. The previous example would apply if there were 9 or fewer images. Press the Cancel button if you want to manually specify the waypoint identifier names. On the Upload Waypoints form you can specify the waypoint identifiers and, optionally, the comments. Cycle through the images by pressing the Back and Next buttons. When youre done, press the Upload button to upload them to your Garmin GPS unit. You need to be careful that you dont inadvertently overwrite any or your GPSs existing waypoints and that your geocoded photo locations dont overwrite one another. For example, assume that you have 3 geocoded photos and have assigned them the waypoint identifiers CAMPING1, CAMPING2, and CAMPING3. You need to ensure that the following scenarios do not occur: 1. If your GPS currently has waypoints named CAMPING1, CAMPING2, or CAMPING3 they will be overwritten. 2. If your GPS only supports 6 characters in the waypoint name and if your GPS currently has a waypoint named CAMPIN, itll be overwritten. 3. If your GPS only supports 6 characters in the waypoint name, CAMPING1 will be saved to the unit as CAMPIN. CAMPING2 will, in turn, be saved as CAMPIN (overwriting the one that was just uploaded). The same thing will then happen to CAMPING3. In the end, only one new waypoint will have been uploaded - the one that was formerly named CAMPING3. 4. If you include a character in the waypoint identifier that the GPS does not support, the GPS may simply discard the character when its uploaded and that may cause an existing waypoint to be overwritten. For example, a waypoint named HIKE 1 may overwrite an existing waypoint named HIKE1. Press the Download button to download the existing waypoints into the grid so that you can ensure that youre not overwriting any existing waypoints. If you specify the WaypointIdentifierMaxLength option for your specific Garmin GPS unit, the program will warn you if your waypoint identifier names are too long. There are other options you can specify as well that relate to the waypoint comment and symbol. Select this option to export HTML that can be viewed either locally or from a web server. The output is pure HTML (no script or dependencies on 3rd party APIs) that can be viewed in any browser. All of the input parameters on the HTML Export form are optional. The minimum default output is a simple grid of thumbnails with 4 columns. If you specify any image titles or descriptions, the output will consist of a list of thumbnails on the left with the associated titles and descriptions on the right instead of the default 4 column wide grid. You can also specify the page title (large text centered at the top of the page), the page description (justified text between the page title and the image grid), and the page footer (small text centered below the thumbnail). The footer text should typically contain a copyright notice ((c) is automatically converted to copy). You can control the appearance of the web page by specifying the related options. You can also manually edit the style. css and index. html files. The program also outputs data. xml if you want to generate fully customized output. You can automate the HTML export by using the w command line switch.
