      I uploaded the picture just to see if the geotagging works ;) My camera makes it easy for me because it has a built-in gps sensor and geotagges my images automatically.

      Can you restore the geotags from my previous uploaded pictures? Or can you make that I can enter the coordinates afterwards?       Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago

        Cool, I did limited testing so I'm glad it works for your images.

        Technically I could reread the EXIF but the problem is that I would have to download all of JungleDragon images from Amazon which is going to cost me dearly due to transfer charges. No worries though, it will take a while but I will build a way to geotag your images inside JungleDragon.         Posted 13 years ago
