The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 3.1
GeoSetter is a geographical images tagging and modification tool. It allows you to create or change the geographical tags, or geo tags, of your pictures. Those tags show where a picture was taken, and, additionally, they can display some other information about the picture, like date, kind of camera, etc.
Creating a geotag for your pictures with this tool is rather easy; mainly because there is a whole section of the application that holds a Google Maps map where you can simply drop a pin to tag the image. The map behaves just like the one you would use in your browser, but with some additional features. GeoSetter allows you to create and modify tags on a single image or a batch of images.
Graphically, the application shows a list (or thumbnails) of your pictures and a quick preview below it. On the right, there is the Google Maps map. Selecting multiple images is easy and all the actions are pretty intuitive, even for beginner users.
GeoSetter does support synchronization of data with GPS devices, but some users complain about an inability to overwrite GPS information on pictures. I have tried geotagging pictures for the first time, and it worked pretty well. You can also change other tags of your pictures, both individually and in batch mode.
The app is available in several languages, and the quality of the localization is remarkable. |
