Nikon GPS Data

[dbradshaw]

Having just purchased a Nikon GP1 GPS unit I only seem to get latitude and no longitude when browsing in Windows Explorer when looking at NEF files (the JPG from the camera are fine).

I'm using version 2.2R2 (2.2.0.10) How do I get the longitude?

There was a typo in the codec registration. This was fixed a number of builds ago, v2.2 is quite dated already! You are entitled to a free update to v3.1 so grab it and update your computer, the issue will sort itself auto-magically

By the way, our FastPictureViewer Professional image viewer is becoming GPS-smarter by the minute, with reverse-geocoding in the IPTC Editor to fill IPTC location information (address) from a GPS point and GPS-based batch file management, like "Copy all files taken pointing north and within 1 mile of position X, Y" and the like (direction requires a GPS unit with a magnetic compass).

The program can also read GPS coordinates from XMP sidecars created by GeoSetter, Apple Aperture, or GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr just to name a few. You may want to give FPV Pro a try if you use geotagging!

Thanks I'll download a later version - Can I install a trial of the viewer without upsetting the registered version of the code?

Yes, no problems as the Codec Pack and FPV Pro setups are designed to work well together, in particular if you let the trial expire the licenced codec will be unaffected, and uninstalling the expired trial will leave your licensed codecs intact!
