samthomson/picmap

analyses a group of pictures and extracts their latitude/longitude if set in exif data. It then renders all images on a world map as an image, saving that output as a picture file.

picmap

picmap recursively scans a seed directory and builds up an index of files, noting their latitude/longitude exif tags if set. It then renders a map with a marker for each picture it has a location for.

Note: files must be geotagged (via exif data) for this program to work as expected.

notes

Requires docker and docker-compose.

Makes use of:

• python 2
• pil
• mapnik
• simplekml

running

build the image: docker-compose build picmap

replace /home/sam/Dropbox/folder-to-map-into-picmap in docker-compose.yml to a folder on your machine that will map to the seed folder within the container. This should contain the geotagged pictures you want rendered on a map. Pictures can be in nested folders.

run the script: docker-compose run picmap bash "picmap/run.sh"

it will then generate a map here: ./out/GPS_tracking_points.png.

picmap's Issues

unable to open database

hy thanks for this dockerfile,im ready tested but when run (docker-compose run picmap bash "picmap/run.sh")
i get error

sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file

can you teach me where im wrong ?

geotagged images

thanks for explanation https://github.com/samthomson/picmap/blob/master/docker-compose.yml#L8 im understand. can you share geotagged images? i dont have geotagged images before
