Virtualearth Add in for Windows Media Center with Geocoded Pictures
As I mentioned in my previous post I have a basic Virtual Earth add-in for Windows Media Center that works within the Media Center UI and is usable with the remote control.
I’ve now added support for integrating geocoded pictures with the Virtual Earth add-in. So next time someone asks you where a particular photo was taken while watching a slide show you can pop-up the Virtual Earth add-in which will center the map on the photo’s location and show a pushpin on the map. This functionality relies on the availability of GPS coordinates in the digital image.
There are a number of software packages available that will tag your digital photos with GPS coordinates using either an associated GPS track or allowing you to manually enter the coordinates.
For more details, screenshots, download and source code see the article I wrote up on CodeProject.
