Last Updated : 18-Feb-2014
Issue Number : 8201827600

Solution

Using geotagged images and GPS logs, you can easily see on a map where shots were taken and view the route traveled with the camera.

It is also easy to add or delete location information.

IMPORTANT

The operations described here assume that the ImageBrowser EX software from the supplied CD (DIGITAL CAMERA Solution Disk) has been installed, and has been updated over the Internet.
If there is no [ImageBrowser EX] on the supplied CD, you can download and install the [ImageBrowser EX] updater from the downloads section of the Canon Web site. Please note that you will need to have your camera ready when you do the installation.
In this section, Windows 7 is used as an example. Depending on the operating system you are using, on-screen displays and operations may differ slightly.
Uploading requires Internet access. You must have an account with an Internet service provider, a browser must be installed, and an Internet connection must be established.
As with ordinary Internet access, ISP connection or access fees may apply.
Google, Google Maps, and Google Earth are trademarks of Google Inc.
This program uses Google Maps to display image locations and routes traveled on a map. Location information in images and GPS logs is sent to service providers.
Geotagged shots and GPS logs may contain personally identifiable information. Be careful when sharing the files or posting images online where many people can view them.
Only images taken on a camera equipped with an internal GPS function can be displayed.
Do not use Map Utility with images you are currently editing in Digital Photo Professional. This may prevent your changes from being saved correctly.
