Hi. I've been tasked with plotting the locations of photographs taken from an iphone 6s into a GIS (Data is based in the UK). I've been successful in exposing the jpeg_exif_gpslatitute and jpeg_exif_gpslongitude from the images. With these attributes exposed I've run a series of substring extractors to extract the hours minutes and seconds from the lat long data. I've also been successful in displaying the points at the correct location in the inspector view by using the DecimalDegreeCalculator and vertexCreator transformer.

All that seemed straight forward, once I exposed the attruibutes. However I'm now stuck ... I need to create an excel table from FME that holds the six digit UK Easting and six digit Northing for each location. I've tried numerous transformers with no success. (I will be using the workbench to process multiple photographs)

I know it is possible as this web page:

http://gridreferencefinder.com/batchConvert/batchConvert.php

can do exactly what I require.

Can anyone help me by providing some clear guidance?

Could it be that you're looking for the GridInQuestIIReprojector?

From the help: "[...] to transform coordinates between ETRS89 (WGS84) and the national coordinate systems of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland."

You can then use the CoordinateExtractor to get the numerical values from the reprojected geometry.

After the vertexes are created I'd use a CsmapReprojector to convert from WGS84 to ESPG:27700. You can then extract the coordinates for your excel file.

If you don't actually need the vertices at all you could not create them and use a CsmapAttributeReprojector instead

Both the CsmapReporjector and CsmapAttributeReprojector worked! Thank you.

 

I had tried these transformers previously and they had failed. Following your suggestion I retraced my workbench and realised the Lat Longs had been inverted. Once I switched them it worked fine,

 

Thanks again.

Thanks for your suggestion, I tried but I still couldn't get the workbench to work, maybe it my misunderstanding? The CsmapsReprojector has worked for me in this scenario. Thanks again

The most important thing is that you found a solution, thanks for sharing it here.
