Img2GPX

A Python program to create a GPX path from image metadata. Useful for creating a visual plot of a path followed during travel.

Supported formats: TIFF, JPEG, PNG, Webp, HEIC

Dependencies

• Python version >= 3.11
• ExifRead library (For HEIC files a version below 3.0.0 is required. You can download it using pip install "exifread<3")
• tzdata library

Usage

Run using the command: python3 img2gpx.py -d "~/directory" -f "filename" --verbose. If no directory is specified, then the directory where the img2gpx.py file is will be used. If no filename is specified then the current unix time will be used. --verbose prints a detailed output of the images processed and the arguments entered by the user. The GPX file is saved in the same directory as the photo files.

TODO

• Add altitude data
• Add more options for formatting
• Add graphics and package to release
• Add option to create image with static map and path
