Geo data, finding nearby locations?

Is there a tool for that? For example, i have an image, and would like to find all other images within a 300 Meter radius in my photo folders. I suppose there's no application to achieve that, but i like the idea.

In digiKam, you can see your photographs on a map, then you select the ones that are around the location you are targeting.

An interesting tool, but it seems, i can search only within one single session/day. The script i'm using, can find all photos for a given location out of all (currently more than 1,600) sessions, from different dates/years.

Anyway, i like the map, and the miniature thumbnails inside the sessions. Thanks!

Duplicate Cleaner Pro 5 can do that, but only for 100 m and 1 km.

Good to know. Even though the script also works fine. But there can be different use cases.

Unfortunately I don't know of an easy way to get data for altitude.
300 m travel in a three dimensional plot could be quite interesting.

Haversine Mandarine?! o)

The distance between coords of image-A and image-B, C, D.. can be calculated with the Haversine formular it seems, which even takes earth roundness into account (I don't know the math behind, I just looked for something which could work).

Now you only need a script to compare the coords of image-A to all other images (their coords) on your disk. Not sure how fast this is, if all your image metdata is in some kind of database it would be very fast. Not sure how iterating over the file system and looking into thousands of non-cached EXIF blocks in every image holds up.

Yes, that's correct.
The vector calculations are easy.

Directory Opus users want a picture.

Also, this thread was limited to only 300 meters.
