First Ever Digitized Trek Trail of India

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Today I created the trail of my weekend trek on EveryTrail. I feel that this is the first ever Digitized Trek Trail of India. Till now I have not come across any such GPS trail in India

I used GPISync to write GPS coordinates into EXIF Data of the images taken by my camera. The process worked like a charm. I had set the time of my camera and GPS to UTC under the assumption that this kind of syncing would work only with that timezone. But I was wrong :(

I uploaded the photographs to Flickr and from there I imported them on to EveryTrail. I did not do any adjustments and I got trail in minutes… Take a look at this marvel
