Re: [OSM-talk] How to load geotagged pics without GPS track ?

2009-12-28 Thread Apollinaris Schoell
you can lad any gpx track and then load the geotagged pics with a right click on the gpx layer. Josm will use the existing exif data and will not try to match with gpx On 29 Dec 2009, at 24:45 , Andre Hinrichs wrote: > Am Montag, den 28.12.2009, 23:50 +0100 schrieb Jeremy G: >> Hi list, >> >>
