Geotagging

Microsoft released a free tool for geotagging.

It requires .Net Framework 3.0, validation and runs on XP and Vista systems.

Initial download of 2.8Mbytes follows extra 31Mbytes for the .Net runtimes.

You can tag photos with “track route files from the most popular formats (NMEA, GPX, and KML)”.

MS also published a tutorial on Geotagging with its Expression Media 2, a “professional asset management tool to visually catalog and organize all your digital assets for effortless retrieval and presentation.”

A similar package from Microsoft that uses .Net Framework 1.1 is available here.
