photo extension not shown in GPX export file

[malal148]

Hi!

I use Oruxmaps 6.0.7 to document the caracteristics of rivers, so I take a lots of photo waypoints. But when I export all my waypoints in a GPX file, there are a lot of missing information. I can't match easily the waypoint name (ex: WPT_0000428) to the image name (ex: OMIMG_20150721_093029.jpg) because this information is not incuded in the GPX file. Is there a way to make this info appear in the GPX document?

Thanks a lot!

Hello, Martin.



The best format for that is kmz, because the images are included in the file, if you want.



GPX format does not support that feature.

Thanks for the fast reply!

But I cannot do it this way. The problem is that I have to import these informations in a GIS software (ArcGIS or QGIS) so I can link the feature points to the pictures I took on the field. I don't need to view the pictures directly in the GIS software, but I need this info to be in the database so I can retrieve easily wich pictures is related to each point.

This information is in the GPX file (I can see it when I open the GPX file in Notepad++, example below) but it is lost when I convert it to an other format (i.e. csv or xls) and I don't know how to extract it and match it to the related point in the database.

Any idea?



Example of text version of the GPX file:
