Re: [Gimp-user] [offtopic] image viewer which can show the location on a map

[Casey Connor <gimp-user-list caseyconnor org>]

Sorry, the ASCII-ification added a bunch of asterisks. Let me try that 
again:

Here is a bash script that will take an image file and open a link in 
your browser to the openstreetmap.com site at that location.

It requires that the "exiftool" utility be installed, which you can 
install e.g. on debian-based systems with:

sudo apt-get install libimage-exiftool-perl

Put the following in a file (preferably in a location that is in your 
executable path), call it something like "locatepic".

#!/bin/bash
sensible-browser `exiftool -c "%.6f" $1 | grep "GPS Position" | sed -r 
's/^.*: ([0-9]*\.[0-9]*) ([NS]), ([0-9]*\.[0-9]*) 
([EW])/http:\/\/www.openstreetmap.org\/search?query=\1%20\2%2C%20\3%20\4/g'`

(If your distribution doesn't have "sensible-browser" or you don't like 
which browser is used by it, you can use "xdg-open" in its place.)

Run this command one time:

chmod ug+x locatepic

...to make the file executable. Then run it with:

locatepic /path/to/your/picture.jpg

(Or if the executable is not in your path, use /path/to/locatepic 
/path/to/your/picture.jpg)

There are various ways to integrate this into your desktop environment 
(e.g. so you can right-click on an image and choose "locatepic"), but I 
will leave that as an exercise to the reader. Some useful links:
