These are probably the worst photos you’ve ever seen. My goal was not the photo quality but geotagging the photo. I used the GiSTEQ CD111 to track my location when I shot this photo. Next I downloaded the route data from the trackr to my laptop. The manufacturer claims an accuracy of 10 feet and that is actually right. You can see on the map on which side of the road you were driving. You might want to consider not to geotag photos from your backyard because then everyone knows where you and your lenses live.
I used the freeware program GeoSetter www.geosetter.de/ (don’t forget a donation) to geotag the photos. It actually added the data to a sidecar file, which prevents changing the original. You can also decide to write the data directly to the RAW file. When you already have the route data file in the same folder as your photos, the geotagging can be done within seconds with GeoSetter. GeoSetter works intuitive and is a joy to work with.
I used Lightroom3 to convert the RAW files to JPG. The geotag data is added to the keywords of each photo. This data is read by Flickr when you import the photo. Flickr displays a little map next to each photo. Don’t forget to change the settings in Flickr to automatically import the geotag data.
