Recursive extraction of coordinates from .JPG files
Raw
grep-get-coordinates.md

Use grep to strip out elements from photo metadata

If you have a bunch of .jpg photos in a directory that were taken with a camera with coordinates associated, this workflow will allow you to recursively get the coordinates.

First, install exiftool Then, from the directory where all of the .JPGs are

exiftool /Users/andrewbattista/desktop/*.JPG |grep 'File Name\|GPS Latitude\|GPS Longitude'

Then, you will want to print it out to a text file

exiftool /Users/andrewbattista/desktop/*.JPG |grep 'File Name\|GPS Latitude\|GPS Longitude' > /Users/andrewbattista/downloads/photometadata.csv
