BT747 can geotag your JPG pictures

BT747 "Desktop" has been extended with a substantial set of new functionalities:

  • Map inside BT747.

    BT747 now integrates OpenStreetMap (OSM) with extraordinary performance. The code is entirely in Java and caches downloaded data so that zooming operations are extremely fluent.
    Once a cache directory is defined, you can also revisit parts of the map offline*.
    You might want to use BT747 rather than your browser to look at the map
  • BT747 shows your track and waypoints internally on the map.
    That way you do not need to open another application to get a look at your log data.* And you can adjust your filter more easily.
  • Internal tables.

    Data is shown in tables**. This makes it easier to adjust the data filter.
  • Support for the Visiontac VGPS-900.

    The Visiontac VGPS-900 has very specific CSV files and BT747 can convert them.
  • Multiple input files.

    Now you can 'concatenate' multiple files in BT747.
  • Command line interface.

    Advanced users can access key functionality from the command line to download, convert and tag files in batch mode.
  • Drag and drop.

    You can drag and drop your track logs and files to tag to the application.
  • Icon toolbar for fast access.
  • Geotagging.

    BT747 can position ANY FILE on the map and write back position information in JPEG files.

    Therefore, besides tagging pictures, you can also position Voice Recordings, Text Notes, ... .

    The date of the file is matched against the log and shown as a waypoint in several output formats:
    HTML (Gmaps), KML, KMZ, CSV, GPX.

    You can adjust the positions manually on the map.
  • Translations.

    A dozen of volunteers participated to make the application available in the following additional languages:
    German, French, Russian, Chinese (Taiwan), Spanish, Italian and Dutch.***
  • Compatibility with Eee PCs

    BT747 Desktop can fit on an Eee PC's screen.
  • Several other improvements.

    Access to more functionality already available in the PDA version, better control over colors, KML/KMZ output altitude setting,
    bug fixes, tooltips, quick access conversion buttons, ... .
