JetPhoto Studio supports geotagging since its first release.  How are the things progressed for the new version 4.5? Geotagging enables locating photos on maps, now the new JetPhoto Studio will support marking camera directions as well as camera positions for your photos.

Now more new digital cameras have built-in GPS units or the interface connecting to external GPS accessories. Some GPS units, like Nikon GP-1 and Solmeta N1, enable both camera position and camera direction recoding. Beside the GPS chipset, a direction sensor (electronic compass) is also assembed in the GPS unit. The camera position (latitude/longitude/altitude) and the camera direction (lens heading) will be saved in image EXIF tags automatically while taking a shot.  JetPhoto Studio can import the photo files including all these tags.

Of course, you can also set the camera directions (lens headings) for your photos manually with JetPhoto Studio if you don’t have a compass-enabled GPS unit. In “Point photo location on map” window, you can just click the central target to begin the camera direction adjusting for any photo saved in your albums.

After that, the direction markers will appear in Geotag panel, Map view and all Google Map Galleries and Google Earth KML/KMZ files generated by JetPhoto Studio! Hope that will be a new toy you enjoy
