From http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=158156#p158156

Hello!
Unfortunately most of my photos haven't had GPS coordinates because they was scaned or made photo by camera without GPS.

I have marked IPTC position/city/state/country for them and it will be good idea!

I have a few thinks about how it will be good to work:

  • Many places may be out of cities, but may contain searchable names (for example "Sognefjorden" is the fjord in Norway. I can search it by Google maps (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sogne … b81323cb38), but cann't search it by http://stevemorse.org/jcal/latlon.php because I nave to type city in this service)
  • It will be good if OpenStreetMap read ("city" OR/and "state") and "country" OR "position" (free text, like "Sognefjorden") if "city" is empty (for example)
  • If it worked with not only English (like Google Maps) it would be great!

In attachment photo with filled IPTC fields Country = "Norway" and Position "Norway, Sognefjorden"
http://media.aronov.su/tools/metadata.php show for it file:
2#005 = Ñîãíå-ôüîðä
2#025 = Sognefjorden,Íîðâåãèÿ,Ñîãíå-ôüîðä
2#080 = Leonid Aronov
2#092 = Norway, Sognefjorden
2#101 = Norway
2#116 = Leonid Aronov

A working PoC.

Install curl module for PHP
Code:

apt-get install php5-curl

Add in you configuration the following parameters:
Code:
$conf['show_iptc'] = true;
$conf['use_iptc'] = true;
$conf['iptc_to_gps'] = true;
$conf['show_iptc_mapping'] = array(
'iptc_keywords' => '2#025',
'iptc_caption_writer' => '2#122',
'iptc_byline_title' => '2#085',
'iptc_caption' => '2#120',
'iptc_country' => '2#101',
'iptc_countrycode' => '2#100',
'iptc_state' => '2#095',
'iptc_sublocation' => '2#092',
'iptc_city' => '2#090',
);

Replace the file /include/functions_metadata.inc.php by the one attach.

When you sync metadata, it will populate the latitude and longitude with the data from http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org if any.

The code does the following:

  • Check for $conf['iptc_to_gps'] to be true.
  • Check for any of the location IPTC metadata are present
  • If any run a CURL query to nominatim.openstreetmap.org
  • If any reply, check for lat and lon.
  • If any valid lat and lon return it an array to be sync in the database.
