How To Do It

How to create a travel map with images for the day.
Assumes:
Android phone with Google Maps location services turned on
Camera that does not geostamp image files
Camera and phone date/time are the same
Exiftool is installed: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/geotag.html

Create today’s directory YYYYMMDD.

Upload images from camera – for a Sony HSC-HX90V these are 4320×2432 pixels, about 4MB.

Export the track from Google Maps to a KML file.

Geostamp the images from the track file.
From a command shell:
YYYYMMDD> exiftool -geotag track.kml .

Resize the images for more efficient web upload and TV viewing. I use Windows Live Photo which can do a batch resize to a subdir, with a custom size of max dimension=1920 (good for viewing on TV or ipad.)

To convert mp4 to smaller size:
Run Prism Plus by NCH Software
In Options/Conversions/DecoderOptions select “Use FFMPEG”
Save as 1280×720 at low quality
