Download GeoPhoto
GeoPhoto is a mapping tool for photo and video archives on Windows. It reads GPS coordinates from media metadata and places each file on an interactive world map, supporting JPG, HEIC, MP4 and other formats. Positions can be added, corrected or derived from GPX and KML tracks when cameras recorded no location data. Automatic grouping, slideshow playback with locations, date filtering, several map view modes, OneDrive sources and an Exif information panel complete the set of functions.
The application serves photographers, travellers and archivists who need to see where their recordings were made. It works with local folders and cloud storage, writes geotags into file metadata and displays capture parameters stored in Exif tags. A date filter narrows the visible set to a chosen period, while map modes change the representation of the surface. The program is developed by Timo Partl in C# for Windows and is distributed through the Microsoft Store.
GeoPhoto organizes media by capture location instead of by folder name or file date. Markers on the map correspond to individual files or to automatically formed groups, and a slideshow follows the geographic sequence of a collection. Geotag editing and track-based assignment cover files without coordinates, and the Exif panel supplies camera and exposure details. OneDrive support brings remote content into the same map view, so an archive spread across devices and cloud storage is reviewed in one place.
