Hi,

I made some pictures with GPS data in the EXIF, but how do I print the
pictures with the GPS etc. on the front (underneath for example?)
PS, Bridge etc. don't show any of the GPS data, just the location.
Thanks..

Erm, where's this identification "Bridge" going to come from? What bridge?
Why not city, county, country?

I'd say that his statement "PS, Bridge etc. don't show any of the GPS
data", refers to PhotoShop ("PS") and Adobe Bridge ("Bridge"). Not, like,
London Bridge.

Oh, thanks, so all it meant was "overlay the co-ordinates onto the image",
or perhaps as a caption?

That's how I read it.

Short answer is "I don't know".

But give this a try:

In Photoshop : File -- File Info
Then browse the info
Dig down 'til you find the GPS data
Copy it.

Now, I'm not sure if it will be in DD.DDDDDDDDDDDD, or
DD MM.MMMMMMMMM degrees, minutes
DD MM SS.SSSSSS degrees, minutes,
seconds

So you may have to convert it to the version you prefer. (For that
matter it might be in UTM or MGRS or ECEF... <ahem>).

Once you've edited that (in a spreadsheet or text editor as you see fit) ...

use the text tool to paste it into your image.

Sucks, eh?

Perhaps go to sci.satellite.gps and they might have tools to do this
already.

If there's an easy way, it's to use software put out by the GPS
company. Check what disks came with it and/or the camera.

I've got some bat files to work with exiftool which you are welcome to
tweak if it will read that data. What I do is create text files with the
same name & compile those on a web page. I'm not sure how you'd print
but this allows a certain amount of formatting.

The irfanview suggestion is another good idea.
