The program looks for the same timestamp in the GPS file and the photo and adds the GPS info automatically to the EXIF data. But somehow Google Earth does not recognize the GPS fields. But it works great within the locr program Have a look at locr (google on locr to find the download site)

Photos are taken by several different employees using a small digital camera. The photos are downloaded to a common network folder and pertinent ones are printed out and submitted with hardcopy forms to become part of a court case. This process is a new one, and before the volume of photos becomes unmanageable, I must figure out a way to geotag these photos and possibly link them to our city GIS (also new and Oracle-based) Geographic Information System. I need the photos to be linked to a specific parcel (i.e. "property") of land and at some point be able to click anywhere in that parcel of land in the GIS and be able to view the photos taken of that parcel/property. We have an employee who is good at writing scripts, and another who writes Visual Basic. We have access to a Recreational grade Garmin Legend GPS. We hope to obtain a Magellan Thales MobileMapper CE to assist with this effort. Any advice? I’m trying to figure out a way to geotag photos taken as part of a job function.
