Geotagging with the locr PC Client
To geotag your photos automatically you have to
download and install the locr PC Client.
Manual or automatic geotagging?
There are two ways to geotag your photos: The photos
can be tagged manually or automatically. For automatic
geotagging you need a datalog GPS receiver in addition
to your digital camera. If you want to view your
geotagged photos on Google Maps, you have to be
connected to the Internet.
Tip: Geotagging adds information to your photos. Therefore, locr
recommends you to safe the original photos to a backup folder
before geotagging them with the locr PC Client!
How to use manual geotagging
Geotagging using the address
Geotagging using the address is an easy way to find out
the position where a photo was taken.
• Start the locr PC Client: “Start” > “Programs”
>”locr” > “locr Client”.
On the left you see the “Photos” area.
• To open a photo, click “Add...” and select a
photo/photos.
• In the list choose the photo/s you’d like to geotag.
You will see the photo in the “Photo Preview”.
• If you know exactly where the photo had been taken,
enter the address and click “Search”.
Address can be:
o Street, number, city, country, ...
Example:
Germany
Kurfürstendamm
12
Berlin
o Geographic locations, country
Example: Zugspitze Germany
Please note: The correct order is important, whereas a comma is
not needed between the search criteria.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Tip: If a location cannot be found, omit the street
information. Or, in addition, specify the country. If you
specify the country, you should always use the English
spelling. Doing so, the location will be found reliably.
If you are not sure of the right English spelling, there is a
simple trick to find out. Have a look at the FAQ topic
“Some address cannot be found. What can I do?” on the
locr web site.
• For final adjustment you can use the mouse to move
the map. Drag it to the desired position. The
crosshairs should be in the middle of the map.
• If necessary, zoom in/zoom out the section of the
map, or select another view: map, satellite, hybrid
(satellite view with locations).
• Then click on “Manual Geotagging” to save the new
information. The marker will be set right in the
middle of the map.
• Clicking the “Show Photos on Map” button, shows
your photos in combination with their position on
the map. Note: To show the position on the map,
locr uses Google Maps, which means you need a
fast Internet connection.
• The “Clear EXIF location tags…” button allows you to
delete the latitude and longitude information.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• To view the photos in Google Earth, first click the
“Show in Google Earth”, and then the “Yes” button.
• Now select the photo/s you want to upload and click
the “Upload Photos” button.
• At least determine the privacy status, click “OK”,
and then have a look at the locr web site.
Please note: Uploading the photos may take a while.
Geotagging via “zoom and click”
Sure, geotagging using the address is the easiest way.
But if you do not know the exact address, or rather
prefer to look, where the photo may have been taken, do
the following:
• Start the locr PC Client: “Start” > “Programs” >
“locr” > “locr Client”.
On the left you see the “Photos” area.
• To open a photo, click “Add...” and select a
photo/photos.
• In the list choose the photo/s you’d like to geotag.
You will see the photo in the “Photo Preview”.

geotagging” again.
• Clicking the “Show Photos on Map” button, shows
your photos in combination with their position on
the map. Note: To show the position on the map,
locr uses Google Maps, which means you need a
fast Internet connection.
• The “Clear EXIF location tags…” button allows you to
delete the latitude and longitude information.

the “Upload Photos” button.
• At least determine the privacy status, click “OK”,
and then have a look at the locr web site.
Tip: Double-clicking the left mouse button (zoom in), or
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
double-clicking the right mouse button (zoom out) makes
zooming much faster.
How to use automatic geotagging
• Connect the datalog GPS receiver to your PC.

“locr” > “locr Client”.
On the left you see the “Photos” area.

Upload a Resized Copy of the Original Photo
During the upload your photos will be uploaded with a
maximum resolution of 1024 pixels as default. This
accelerates the upload procedure!
If you’d like to upload your photos with maximum quality
and resolution, you’ll have to de-activate the “Upload a

“Settings” tab.
The “Time Adjust” tab
You made a lot of shots, used a datalogger, uploaded the
photos and the GPS file, but after the automatic
geotagging with the locr PC Client the displayed
positions seem to slightly wrong?
May be you forgot to set your camera time correctly.
Before taking the photo simply set the camera
according to the system time displayed on the computer
you want to use for uploading the photos later. If you
forgot to do so, or did not know it, you can adjust the
time subsequently using the locr PC Client.
• Start the locr PC Client.
• Open the respective photos and the associated GPS
file/files.
• Select the “Time Adjust” tab.
“System time” displays the current system time of
your computer.
• Use “Days”, “Hours”, etc. to set the “Camera time”
according to the time displayed on the camera,
with which your photos were taken.
Based on this time correction an exact positioning
can be made.
• Click the “Automatic Geotagging” button.
The calculated position will be taken over. It will be
written into the EXIF header automatically, and will
be saved on your hard disk as a part of the photo.

Important note: For an exact calculation of the position during
the automatic geotagging you should always set and keep the
camera time set according to the system time of your computer —
regardless, where you are driving or flying to!
The locr PC Client and Google Earth
To be able to view locr photos in Google Earth, Google
Earth has to be installed on your computer.
No matter whether you use the locr website, or the free
locr PC Client for geotagging, the information on the
position (longitude and latitude) is saved. In order to
position the photos correctly Google Earth needs exactly
this information.
For data transfer with Google Earth locr uses the KML file
format.
To view the photos on Google Earth, first click the
“Export to Google Earth”, and then the “Yes” button.
Zoom in, zoom out, move map - the easiest way
Basically you can use either the buttons of GoogleMaps
or the mouse solely. Zooming and panning using the
mouse or the buttons can be used on the locr website as
well as with the locr PC Client.

coordinates? The respective coordinates are stored in
the EXIF header of your files?
Great: So you don´t have to geotag your photos
manually again!
The information will be read automatically when
uploading the photo via the
locr PC Client. Your photo will be displayed with the exact
position on the map. If you want to know more about the
place where the photo was taken, just have a look at the
Wikipedia articles which are also automatically assigned
to the picture on the locr website.
Note: Uploading photos is only possible if you have signed up, or
are logged in. You haven’t signed up yet? Have a look at “How to
sign up at locr” on page 1.

I have a question …
What does “Geotagging” actually mean?
The term “geotagging” is sometimes also referred to as
“geocoding”.
Using “geotagging” e.g. photos, or videos, can be
complemented with geographical coordinates (latitude
and longitude, or physical address). This geographical
identification data is saved together with the photos.
Thereby photos can be assigned easily and explicitly to
maps like GoogleMaps, or can be viewed on Google
Earth.
Via the locr web site the coordinates are determined by
manual geotagging. Together with the respective photo
they are stored in the locr data base.
The locr PC Client works differently. No matter whether
the coordinates have been associated using manual or
automatic geotagging, the information is written into the
EXIF* header of the photo. Suitable software can read
and use this information.
What is a datalog GPS receiver and how does it work?
A datalog GPS receiver is a device, which - as long as it is
switched on - continuously receives and logs (stores)
data concerning its current position.
The operating mode of a datalog GPS receiver is based
on the principle of the global satellite-based positioning
system (GPS).
GPS
GPS (Global Positioning System) uses satellites that
permanently emit their changing position and time. On
the basis of this information global positioning can be
generated.
GPS receivers
Based on the information emitted by the satellites GPS
receivers generate their own position. Therefore they
need the signals of at least three satellites.

Datalog GPS receivers
Contrary to a “pure” GPS receiver the datalog GPS
receivers store the received data to an internal memory.
Being switched on, datalog GPS receivers start writing
the position, date, and time into a log file. This logged
data can be read and saved on e.g. a PC. So the data is
also available for other applications like the locr PC
Client.
Note: Different datalog GPS receivers create log files in different
formats. How these files can be used with the locr PC Client is
explained here: “Which GPS datalogger can I use for automatic
geotagging anyway?”
