Geotagging NEF files
From Necowiki
The problem is there seems to be no software which can do all the geotagging steps and work with NEF files (Nikon RAW files). So this is a multistep process
- Get GPS track from the unit into GPX format - since I'm using a Garmin GPS, I use Mapsource for this one
- Copy the photos from the card to the PC - automaticaly done with ACDSee or PhaseONE or something
- Convert all photos to JPG - this is a pain, easiest and fastest I found so far is BibblePro, I have it output a special batch job with small images and all EXIF data intact. These get outputed into a seperate directory from out NEF originals)
- Geotag the photos - for this Microsoft Labs Location Stamper seems best
- Now "copy" the GPS data from the JPGs to the NEF files. This is a pain and best done from command line using ((ExifTool)). the command is
perl \ExifTool\exiftool -TagsFromFile ./gps/%f.JPG -GPS:all -r -ext NEF .
note: this needs Perl installed. In the command ./gps/ is the folder that contains the JPG files (they were put there automaticaly by Bibble) Now just elete thumbnail files (in gps folder) and anything *.NEF_original (these were created by the ExifTool program)
Done.
