IntrepidAntipodean writes "Navman, makers of in-car sat-nav systems, have released their NavPix website to the public. The NavPix Library lets users download and upload (free registration required for upload) photos and geocode them using a street address or lat/long, it'll also read the Exif tags if you've already coded them. If you own one of their devices you can load the images on to it and use the picture as a destination. A great way to plan a road trip." See also numerous links in previous stories provided below.

rakerman writes "I am interested in automated geocoding of photos from GPS track logs, so I have put together a page with all the information I could find: geocoding photos. (I consider geocoding to be embedding the GPS info into the EXIF metadata.) I have also included information on the related topic of geotagging for Flickr and other photo sites."
Industry: Picasa Photos in Google Earth 2 comments

Your Picasa photo albums exported to KML in Google Earth? Consider this done. From the Ogle Earth blog, in addition to Picasa web albums (CNET and Google Blogoscoped), geotagged photos will be exported directly in Google Earth. From the blog: "We'll have to await a formal announcement to see wether this also heralds server-hosted My Places for Google Earth, in addition to Picasa photos. It would certainly be in keeping with the direction Google has been heading in for its most recent launches." Also, from a GB comment: "you can Geotag your pictures in Google Earth, automatically creating a KML file with no need to know programming. I could see people sharing picture tours using [Picasa] and KML, and sharing the link via Google Maps." Here's the official announcement (web sharing).
