Photo2GPS
• A free software program that associates GPS track files with digital photographs

Photo2GPS (software)
• We are not going to work with Photo2GPS, but I wanted you to be aware of it...
• We are going to work with RoboGEO
RoboGEO
• RoboGeo is very similar to Photo2GPS• It is a bit more “powerful”• More functionality...• User-friendly• There is a “free trial version”• 1 license of the real version costs $79• 10 license “lab kit” is $399• More information at: www.robogeo.com
