Proper formatting for writing EXIF gps data to jpg

Question

Hello,

I'm attempting to geotag photos with FME Desktop by writing coordinates to the jpgs with an AttributeCreator. The following headers have been attempted with no luck:

jpeg_exif_gpslatitude

jpeg_exif_gpsmapdatum etc... which is how the data appears in the data inspector with a properly geotagged photo.

The tag names from http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/GPS.html were also attempted with no luck. The proper data types were also considered. Any idea of how to write gps EXIF data to jpg? I know its possible with the exiftool and other third party apps but I'd like to keep it all within one workbench, without calling any other applications.

Thanks,

John

You're not having luck because FME can read but not write the EXIF format.

Good to know. Thanks

Hi @jhuillery and @makt,

FME can now write EXIF Tags as of FME 2018.0 Beta (Build 18254+). Detailed information about how to do this can be found on the question Missing exif in jpeg writer or the idea EXIF Writer
