Exif data to GPX

Is there a way to create a GPX file from and image that has gps data in its Exif

I am trying to use Palentier to overlay images onto Google earth but it requires you to load the jpg image and gpx track data in order to match it up and then export as a KMZ to google earth.

I don't have separate track data as the gps is in the camera and its data is in the Exif of the image.

If I cannot use Palentier what can I use to send the image to Google earth as an overlay?

Any help would be great thanks.

  • Exiftool will create gpx track files from a group of images, see 'inverse geotagging" here:

  • Whats the source of the Exif location data in the photo?

    While it would not be very hard to convert the exif data to a single point in a gpx file, it will not be enough for Palentier to overlay the image.

    The reason they need a GPX file is to get the telemetry of your UAV to calculate the proper position of the picture. I wouldn't be surprised if they also need the azimuth and elevation of the camera relative to the UAV to get an accurate calculation.
