Is there a way, when a picture file with GPS data is selected to click a button or use a shortcut key or a right click menu option to load google maps with the latitude/longitude information embedded in the EXIF data of this photo?
Right now i alt-ctrl-c to copy the exif data to clipboard, paste it into notepad, and copy/paste the data into google maps. Would much prefer a simpler way of doing it.
I am back to this topic again, but on a slightly different track..
is there a way to select a file, and press a button, or a hot-key and have it copy the latitude and longitude to the clipboard. At that point, i would simply go to Google maps and paste the info in there and away I go.
Currently i have the GPS data showing up in the tooltips. So i simply do a ctrl-alt-c to copy that, paste it into notepad and then copy the lat/long and paste in. I would like to eliminate the need to open notepad and just do it in one step
I am far from being a programmer and i looked at the instructions on it, and it is a little beyond what I know. A sample image has been provided above.
As I would only use this feature for 1 image at a time, do i really need setclip? in any event i already use it for another purpose (create a url i can paste to people based on a file on my drive so i dont have to type in the info all the time). I just never bothered to see if i could use the built in script to do that.
Sorry but why bother with clipboard and so on? What's wrong with adding
Image LOCATE=googleearth
to the context menu for images in Opus File Types. I use this action all the time. Then all you have to do is select the context menu of the images and it will access Google Earth and the location.

Because I do not use google earth and rather use google maps. Also much quicker to switch to firefox than open google earth every time i am interested in looking up something
Please submit an official support request for this to GPSoftware via the support page on the main web site and we'll see if we can expand the options available here.
Perhaps we could also add support for Google Maps (if there is an interface) and or a copy to clipboard function.
No promises:) This forum is for general discussions but if you put in an official request then it gets added to the database for consideration.
works great.... however, how can i set it so that it copies to clipboard only .... i use a portable version of FF on my system and this script insists on using IE, which i never use.
