Where/how are you planning to display the image(s)?
I don't know how, or if it is possible, to do what you want to do. Lat-Long is easily embedded in standard EXIF
entries, but I don't believe there is a place for a link URL. Even if there were, or if there were some other place
where it was embedded, all the major browsers would have to recognize it and offer to act on it.
It is possible to display an image, either by itself or on a page, using pretty simple HTML, so that clicking on the
image will take one to the link, Google Maps or what ever you want.
Here's an example.* <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/tech/GMapsLink/BusyB.htm> But without a note, who would know to
click on the image to get a map of its location?
Scripting languages could also do it, within a script that displays image(s). I've added to the PHP code in the
Singapore Gallery that I use that reads and displays Lat-Long. It wouldn't be difficult to make the location display
into a link to Google Maps.
Hey, thanks for the idea! My version of Singapore Gallery now provides a map link for any image with Lat-Long in the
EXIF!
