during the last week i started a small application called pictag to geotag my pictures.
The application is very simple. You select one or more pictures on the list, click on the map and all selected pictures have the exiv tags GPSLongitude, GPSLongitudeRef, GPSLatitude and GPSLatitudeRef set to the selected position. Maybe there are some bugs so make a backup of your pictures before you try it;)
The source is available at launchpad and there’s also a package in my ppa.
Update: Pictag is now available in Ubuntu’s software-center .

Good work, Pictag looks great!
thx
Is it in the Ubuntu Apps Contest?
yes. it’s already available for ubuntu 12.04 (see https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/pictag/ ).
Cool! 🙂 I wonder how difficult would it be to implement this same app with Tracker as backend; as it already gives you lists of local images and lets you geotag the images with SPARQL update queries (tags are automatically written back to the image files).
