Success! Using that same example for which I attached the files (3 photos and a
GPX)
I have now done my first succesful run. Excellent, thanks. Not sure what I was
doing
wrong before, as I seem to be using same settings...
Presumably my photos come with scroll bars in GE because they are large? (2048 x
1360). Automatic resizing would be a neat feature! (rather like Panoramio.)

Hi Terry and thanks for your detailed feedback and data.
I've also tried with the data you provided and it worked fine for me like for
you now.
From the log you've sent back it looks like GPicSync couldn't read properly the
gpx
file in your first attempt
(since it is the first step of the sync process nothing happened after, I'll
add a
warning in a future version if the app. catch this problem).
If you still run into this kind of problems don't hesitate to send me the data.

They are re-sized to 800 to 600 pix for now depending on which side was
longer. If
you have a relatively smlall screen the sliders will appear.
There are small thumbnails if you do a Google Maps export (but you need to put
it on
a web space):

But I'll had also thumbnails (larger) for the Google Earth export soon I think.
Thanks again for your feedback and don't hesitate to join the GPicSync Google
Group
if you have questions or feature requests.

Thank you Francois. I think I'll soon become a keen user of this great tool!
BTW, my photos appear without scroll bars as soon as I remove the GE left pane.
Unfortunately, the GPX I'm working on right now (before I went off to install
and
play with GPicSync) is a track I *drew*, having forgotten to take my GPS unit
on that
day's walk. So although I can plot it in GE, Memory-Map, etc, I can't locate
my 50
or so photos on it. So if you want a real challenge for your Wish List...!
I usually know the start and finish times, and maybe a few other locations with
known
times, from the EXIF times of photos taken of recognisable places, or detective
work
on things like the receipt I get on finishing a pub lunch, etc. Given that sort
of
'base data', I wonder how easy it would be to get all the trackpoint imes
estimated
and entered automatically into the GPX file?
But basically I suppose it's a sort of 'best fit' application, so maybe it's a
job
for Excel, followed by manipulation/editing...
Best wishes,
