The GPS tags are created and saved in the image. The date/time information in the JPG is the key to search for the position data.

Today, I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch which uploads runs to Strava. The program samples/geotag.cpp is a command-line application to geotag photos and I frequently use this on my own photographs. Both Exiv2 and pyexiv2 were Linux only at that time. Most of the effort went into porting Exiv2 and pyexiv2 to Visual Studio and macOS. The program geotag.py was completed in about 6 weeks. And here we are more than a decade later still working on the project. I said “Oh, it can’t be too difficult to do that!”. Today this is called “GeoTagging” and is supported by many applications. We realised that we could extract the GPS data from the watch in GPX format, then merge the position into photos. Dennis and I ran frequently together in Silicon Valley and Dennis was a Software Development Manager in a company that made GPS systems for Precision Agriculture. In fact, with so many wo.I first became interested in metadata because of a trail conversation with Dennis Connor in 2008. But, unlike here, relationships in the real world can be more challenging, even in the office. This may feel like an odd question to ask here, as the Spiceworks Community is all about creating connections between IT professionals.


We are taking over multiple new environments with no clue what is on their networks. Looking for recommendations on a network topology tool where all we have to do is label the device/switch with it's physical location after it's scan. Affordable or free software that will map network topology Networking.
