About the Service


If the old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" does in fact hold some truth, then a geo-tagged photo may be worth more! A geo-tagged photo is a regular photo with geographic coordinates embedded within the photo metadata (i.e. EXIF header). The coordinates are written to the photo by the device acquiring it. Most mobile devices today (i.e. iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Andoid, etc.) have one or more ways of acquiring their location (cellular towers, wifi, and/or GPS) and the process of embedding those coordinates into pictures taken by the device is seamlessly integrated.

In todays world we don't have the time to mess around with complex software used to record where we've been and what we saw. So why not use a service that is so simple that anyone can use it? This is where the GeoPhoto2KMZ service comes in.

GeoPhoto2KMZ is a free** automated service that transforms geo-tagged photo email attachments into a stand-alone packaged Google Earth KMZ file. The resultant KMZ file is returned to the sender as an attachment.

How do you use this service? It's fast and easy! Use your favorite mobile device (iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, etc.) to capture photos (you have to make sure that the "embed locations into photos" option is turned on). When you're ready to build a KMZ file, simply send an email to geophoto2kmz@anjoda.com with the photos attached. The GeoPhoto2KMZ Server will automatically respond to your request within minutes.

By using this service you are agreeing to the Terms & Conditions.

If you wish to share your comments or suggestions, please email us.

** The free service is subject to limitations such as the number of emails that will be processed from each sender per day and the number of geo-tagged photos that will be processed in each email.
