No support for loading JPGs that already contain gps EXIF data

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. If you have JPG files that already contain EXIF gps data, you cannot
load them into gpisync and export them for view in Google Maps
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v.93 on XP Pro SP2

Please provide any additional information below.

I know you run this out of kindness, but the ability use a prevously 
gecoded JPG with EXIF data or for the few cameras that capture EXIF data 
with gps directly, these photos cannot be loaded and exported to Google 
Maps.

For now if you have the tracklog it's always possible the geocode geocoded 
pictures
and create your Google Maps export on the fly.

Anyway I add your request to my todo-list.

I would like to second this feature request.  I would like to be able to create 
a
kml/kmz of a new collection of previously geo-coded files (these images would 
be from
from many different days and many different gpx files) by simply making a new 
folder
contining my favourite images. 

I would also like to create a google map compliant kml which links to the same 
files
in a folder on my webserver. I know GPicSync can do this from GPX and photos 
but,
like the original poster, I would like to make a new collection of images, 
which has
some photos previously tagged by GPicSync and some from my Loox T830 PDA which 
tags
photos as it takes them (no track).

If I could just tell GPicSync to open a folder of GeoTagged images and create a 
GMaps
kml with the http://myserver/pathtoimages/ as the base URL that would be great.

My case for seconding this request is from following example. I was on the trip 
with
museum train, there was a lot of tunnels, narrow canyons, so my GPS was in and 
out
all the time. I would like to connect all photos to the same track. Now I have 
to
manually geocode photos with Google and have a lot of work to add photos to 
tracks
manually. My case is: SW could use manually entered GPS data with original time 
of
photo to insert it in right place of track.

I would like to fourth this request. I downloaded gpicsync hoping it would have 
this feature as well. Unfortunately 
(and confusingly) there is absolutely no mac application that performs this 
task, as of yet.

http://geotag.sourceforge.net/ plays better with photos with an existing exif 
geo
data, though I found it a little harder to setup and use for my normal case of
"geocode this pile of photos with this gpx".

another feature request related to this is that there should be a option which 
would keep any photos already having gps data untouched.
I use my camera and my phone to take pictures my phone automatically tags them 
quite well, so I would like keep that data untouched in some case.

thanks for your wonderful effort.
