This guide will show how to geotag images in Ubuntu using GPS data from Garmin Forerunner 305. The software used is gpsbabel and gpscorrelate.

Start by capturing data from the watch, using

gpsbabel -t -r -w -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F data.gpx

which will get all data from the watch, and a XML file.

GPScorrelate can be used both in console and GUI mode, using the console tool on a collection of images is done like

gpscorrelate -g data.gpx *.jpg

Using the GUI looks like this

Opening one of the images with for instance eog, it can be seen that the GPS data has been added to the EXIF info.

The result can be shown in various programs and web application, for instance PicasaWeb
