Title: web site with GPS info in photos?
Post by: unnonimus on May 26, 2018, 09:32

does anyone know of a web site where you can search for a landmark or location and get the GPS location with the photos?

for example, if I want to film the carrier dome, and I see a nice photo that i think would be a good background, I would need the GPS coordinates from the photo so i can go see the location in person to get the same landmark in the background.

if anyone knows a site that does this please post. thankyou

It only works if there is exif data still embedded in the image.  Most places strip out exif data, like Facebook, etc.

I can get the GPS data form the photo, so I need a site that has a database of photos with the GPS info. using google images leads to lots of photos with stripped EXIF data.

I know these sites exist because I have seen them before.

If you have an EXIF viewer you can copy and paste the GPS coordinates into numerous map programs. I use Google Earth. Fly around the views and drop into street view for some images to see perspectives.
