For travelers, remembering where you took that photo of grandma and your aunt when all you have to go by is a mountain behind them is a little difficult. Thankfully though, there are freeware solutions to come jump to the rescue. Panorado Flyer is a freeware application that will help you match up your photos with the locations where they were taken.

Still don’t get it? Here is what the folks behind Panorado Flyer have to say about this freeware download.

Panorado Flyer is a small, yet very useful tool for linking JPEG image files to the location where the picture was taken, using geographical coordinates. JPEG image files can contain supplementary information (so-called Metadata).

Technical metadata as described by the EXIF standard can contain fields for GPS data, like geographical latitude/longitude, altitude, and track. The Panorado Flyer tool enables you to get the coordinates of the place where the picture was shot and insert them into these fields.

You can do it manually, using a dialog window. Or, if you have installed the Google Earth client (can be downloaded for free), you can search for the location there, drag it to the center of the map window, then change to Panorado flyer, grab the coordinates and insert them into the image selected, without typing any numbers.

Want to see it in action? Check out the screenshots. This has to be one of the more unique freeware downloads I have ever found.

Personally, I never gave much thought to matching photos up with the areas where they were taken. For folks who travel a lot though, this could become a very neat way of keeping track of things.

If you like this freeware download, be sure to check out this program’s big brother as well. Panorado 3.3 offers some more GPS related functions, like the Image Finder: Find - within a specified folder (including subfolders) - all photos which have been taken in a distance of less than 5 km from the current Google Earth position.
