HoudahGeo: Photo geocoding for the Mac


With HoudahGeo you may "pin" photos to the locations where they were taken. The thus created information may be exported to EXIF / XMP. This allows for further processing in a number of third party applications or web sites (iPhoto, Flickr, Panoramio, ...).

HoudahGeo allows you to share your photos in Google Earth and can publish them to Flick!

The ONLY one-stop geocoding solution for the Mac


HoudahGeo covers the two very different workflows in photo geocoding:

  • The person who wants to store the location the photo was taken as a means of indexing, finding, browsing, ... photos. He/She would geocode images before importing them into iPhoto/Aperture/Lightroom. The photo library application will read EXIF/XMP data written by HoudahGeo.

  • The person who wants to publish a selection of his photos. He/She will access iPhoto / Aperture / Lightroom from within HoudahGeo. The photos may have been previously geocoded or can be geocoded now using a GPX track log or the map interface. The ultimate goal is to share the photos on Flickr! or Google Earth.

No expensive GPS camera needed


HoudahGeo is a pure software solution for geocoding photos with latitude, longitude and altitude information. Just like a GPS camera, HoudahGeo can store this information right within the image file - invisibly with no loss of quality.

Unlike a GPS camera, HoudahGeo allows you to export your photos directly to Google Earth or Flickr! More features, more flexibility, more control. Lower price tag.

GPS device: optional


HoudahGeo offers you many ways of geocoding your favorite photos:

  • Automatic: HoudahGeo may match your photos to a log file produced by a GPS device
  • Manually using a Google Earth: Point Google Earth to the desired location. Click one button!
  • Manually using a map: Find the photo locations using the built-in map
  • Precision: Attach photos to waypoints created using a GPS device
  • Manual entry: Enter coordinates found on Google Earth, Wikipedia, ...

GPS device: supported


HoudahGeo directly connects to many Garmin, Magellan and Wintec GPS devices.
