The URL and Description Fields are new fields that I’ve added to my table (which you won’t have in your table). I’ve edited the attribute table of my geotagged photo layer to include a Description and URL fields that I’m going to use later for a quick web map. Also you will need the QGIS2Web Plugin installed. Step 4: Create Web Map with Popup (OPTIONAL)įor this portion you will need to have your photos stored on the web somewhere and be accessible using a direct link (e.g. If you don’t see the Processing Toolbar Panel then go to Processing Menu > Toolbar. In QGIS: Go to the Processing Toolbar panel. As for QGIS version, I am using QGIS 3.14 Pi. Also, if you wan to create a web map then you need to have qgis2web plugin installed. The only requirement to this short tutorial is that you must have photos that are already geotagged. Geotagged photo can be mapped and viewed in QGIS. If you have ever taken photos with your smartphone then most likely your photos as geotagged (assuming geolocation is enabled on your phone). The geographic information (latitude, longitude, altitude, bearing or direction, and date/time stamp, etc.) are stored in the image’s EXIF header. A geotagged photo has associated geographic location added to it by a process called geotagging. If you have a need to map and view your geotagged photos then this post is for you. I thought I would a complementary posting on mapping and viewing geotagged photos in QGIS. I think it’s good idea to learn both ArcGIS and QGIS.Īnyway, enough on ArcGIS. If you are a student, you can look into the Learn ArcGIS Student Program (launching September 1, 2020) that gives qualified students free access to AGOL and ArcGIS Pro for a year through a membership in the Learn ArcGIS organization. You can get a free public ArcGIS Online (AGOL) account if you’d like to give it a try. We had an interesting discussion on teaching GIS in the academia (although I am no longer in academia - I still enjoy teaching and doing trainings). It provides some very useful information for on using ESRI software (AGOL) to map and view geotagged photos. You can read his post on Using the Photos with Locations Tool in Education. Today’s post is inspired by Joseph Kerski, who works at ESRI doing GIS in Education.
