Photo geotagging software

Technicaly speaking, the task here is to embed location information in a bitmap file. For JPEG and some other bitmap format there is a standard called EXIF which puts this information in the header.

• Have a camera with GPS?
  • Your done.
• Have a series of pictures and a GPS (Tracklog)?
  • RoboGeo (Windows only, Demo introduces intentional errors of about one kilometer, 35$)
• Have a picture and no GPS but know where you have taken the picture?
  • Locate it with the Google Earth extension trippermap
  • Locate it with the Google Earth extension GETrackr. This is an application to generate geotags for images in Flickr.
  • Locate it with Google Maps in Flickr (GMiF).
• Have a picture and coordinates (from somewhere) and want to geotag it?
  • ExifTool (Windows standalone, Perl, GUI & Commandline)
