[Digikam-users] Tips on workflow with Android GPS app and Digikam geodata?

[Willem Ferguson]

Philip,
Google MyTacks saves track and waypoint data in comma delimited or in 
KML format, ready for Google Earth. The challenge is pairing photographs 
with individual waypoints. In MyTracks you can name and describe 
waypoints, so if you use the image ID on your Nikon when you name each 
waypoint you should be ok??? Mytracks is not optimal, but it is quite 
workable?? There are several KML to GPX converters around to create 
output that DK can understand?? (e.g 
http://www.gps-data-team.com/convert.php). I must immediately add that I 
have not yet followed the whole route from MyTracks to DK, mostly 
because I am waiting for the next Ubuntu LTS so that I can upgrade KDE 
and hence DK.
Kind regards,
Willem
