This tool extracts EXIF GPS tags from image files and creates corresponding point features using the Exiv2 library. One can either select individual files or let the tool recursively search entire directories for supported image formats. The output features can be assigned a target coordinate system, and the tool will reproject the GPS coordinates accordingly. The default projection is WGS84. The original GPS values are also preserved for reference.
The following GPS informations are currently extracted if available:
Exiv2 version is 0.28.8
