GeoSetter is a free Windows desktop tool for viewing and editing image geodata and IPTC, XMP and Exif metadata. It reads and writes JPEG, TIFF and camera RAW formats including DNG, CR2, NEF, ARW, RAF, RW2 and RWL, and uses ExifTool to write data. Add coordinates and altitude by placing them on an embedded Google Maps display or entering them directly. GeoSetter can also synchronize images with NMEA, GPX, PLT, Sony LOG, IGC and other track files, fill location fields and altitude automatically, and export to Google Earth. Batch editing and metadata templates are supported. Map display and automatic location data need an internet connection. The interface is available in 13 languages, including English, French, Japanese and Chinese. The listed current version is 3.5.3, released on 29 October 2019. GeoSetter requires Internet Explorer 10 or higher; its embedded map does not work correctly on Windows XP. The free plan is listed at 0.00 USD per free, with no usage restrictions.
