How do you find the GPS coordinates of your photos?

Isn’t technology great? More and more cameras have GPS built right into them. The moment you take a photo, your camera records exactly where you took it. But while most of the photography is out there taking advantage of this feature, some of us are left scratching our heads wondering where we can find these magical GPS coordinates. In this article, you’ll learn what you can do to access GPS coordinates and use them to improve your photo sharing experience.

What is Photo GPS Extract?

Photo GPS Extract (PGE) is a small utility to visualize the GPS coordinates of a JPG photo on a map. This allows you to see the location where a certain picture was taken.

More and more modern digital cameras have a build-in GPS module. They record the latitude, longitude and elevation at the time a photo is taken.  The GPS information is stored inside the JPG photo. This information is not very useful without a tool to visualize it: this is why I designed Photo GPS Extract.

PGE uses the Google Maps to show the locations. This means the application requires an active Internet connection: you can't use PGE offline.

How to use Photo GPS Extract?

Photo GPS Extract offers several ways to view the location of a JPG photo:

1.   Launch PGE and open a photo through the menu File - Open Photo.

2.   Drag a JPG from your desktop or Windows explorer, and drop it over PGE's main screen.

3.   Right-Click any JPG photo in Windows Explorer. Then go to the "Send To" menu and select "Photo GPS Extract". PGE will launch and show the location of the photo.

The location is then shown on a Google Map. The map itself offers a scale control, a zoom control, some buttons to choose between maps/satellite imaginary, and of course there is the Pegman: the orange icon that allows you to jump to the streetview modus.
Note: This method only works only if you chose the option "save my gps co.ordinates" in your mobile camera options
