This repository demonstrates how to extract GPS information from smartphone photos and plot it in an interactive .html file. Also, we generate a .csv file, allowing to open this coordinate in different GIS/Softwares.
While your phone can show you where a photo was taken, there are several reasons you might want to extract GPS coordinates:
- Fieldwork Documentation: If you’re conducting fieldwork and need to review where each picture was taken, extracting coordinates allows you to plot all locations on a map for easy visualization.
- Blogging and Storytelling: Enhance your travel blog by showcasing the exact spots where you captured stunning photos, such as sunsets or scenic views.
