A quick look at several of the applications I’ve covered indicate that they only let you set the time a whole second, not a fraction of a second. So you may be out of luck.

I have been reading your series about Geo Tagging with interest. My question is about tagging images that are collected at a rate of 4 or more frames per second. Typically Geo Tagging software uses the windows file creation or modification time stamp which is to the nearest second and my image collection times are in milliseconds. Is there any Geo Tagging software out there that will read 2 files (image name and time; and GPS track) and interpret the location of each image between the GPS positions (taken every second) on either side of the image capture times?

Or can I edit my image times to include fractions of a second and use tools you have presented thus far?

I had a feeling it would ditch my example. Hopefully this will get the point across..

Change this tag:
gpx xmlns=”http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1″ creator=”MapSource 6.5″ version=”1.1″ xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” xsi:schemaLocation=”http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd”

to this:
gpx xmlns=”http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0″ creator=”MapSource 6.5″ version=”1.0″ xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” xsi:schemaLocation=”http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd“

I’ve enjoyed reading your series on Geotagging tools and was wondered if WWMX Location Stamper (not WMMX) would be covered. I’ve tried all sorts of different tools and I invariably return to this tool.

Here are the features that keep bringing me back:
* GPX tracks (and location of located photos) are displayed on top of an actual MAP so you can easily see if things are lining up correctly.
* Simple way to adjust photo timestamps
* Recognizes already geotagged photos
* Automatically creates backups of your photos before it stamps the location info (or when adjusting the time stamps)

I can’t seem to find other tools that combine these basic tools as nicely as WWMX.

And for anyone having trouble loading their Garmin GPX files into WWMX, I’ve found that editing the tag so that it references version 1.0 instead of 1.1 allows the GPX to work in WWMX.
