Exporting with bearing/direction information?

[smor]

I used TF to add photos to my gps track and exported as a shapefile. Is it possible to export the direction or bearing of the track at the time the photo was taken?

Thanks

Hi Sarah,

That info isn't computed or stored anywhere currently in the software, but it could be added.  I'm curious what your application is?

Thanks

Hi Scott,

I have a GPS track and photos taken along the track but now I want to display the location and direction from which the photo was taken. Currently I am doing this by calculating the direction in excel and joining it to the shapefile created in TF.

Thanks,
Sarah

Sarah,

I've made a note to take a look for the next version.  It shouldn't be too difficult.  The next revision may be several weeks off though -- do you anticipate doing this regularly in the future?

Just a note that the current beta version (available to registered users) has bearing information exported with each PhotoFusion waypoint.  Please let me know if this works for you, assuming you can get the beta.

If you're on the demo, the feature will be pushed out with a public release sometime in the coming week(s).

Thanks!
