Product Description:

HoudahGeo is a one-stop geocoding application for the Mac. With HoudahGeo you may "pin" photos to the locations where they were taken. The thus created information may be exported to EXIF tags as well as to Google Earth KML files. Such a file allows for browsing your photos within Google Earth.

You don't need a digital camera with a built-in GPS
You don't need a GPS device

Don't miss out on these cool features:

Automatic geocoding from a GPX or NMEA (Sony) track logs
GPX download from Garmin, Wintec and Magellan GPS devices
Manual geocoding from GPX way points
Manual geocoding using Google Earth & Google Maps
Reverse geocoding
Google Earth export
Flickr uploading
EXIF/XMP image file tagging

What's new in this version:

Bug fix: Image loading
HoudahGeo did not always respect the time zone offset specified in input images. It then incorrectly applied the user configured offset to a timestamp that should be understood in GMT time zone. This resulted in a repeated shift of timestamps

Bug fix: Camera clock error
In some situations, HoudahGeo did not use the latest settings for "camera clock error".

Bug fix: Stall of Flickr export
On occasion, when uploading an image to Flickr failed, HoudahGeo did not proceed to the next one but stalled.

Bug fix: Media browser
The media browser could crash while loading certain Aperture libraries.

Bug fix: CSV track log import
HoudahGeo would crash if it failed to correctly parse a CSV track log file.

Having researched all available options, this is the one that seems to suit most circumstances best. It's robust (not a whiff of any malfunction, bugs or instability), flexible (adapts to most situations - well), fully-featured (uses Google s/w and maps, loggers and logs) and very easy to use.

HoudahGeo has a simple and straightforward interface, works well with peripherals (eg a logger) and integrates perfectly with Aperture (2), for example.

It's very reasonably priced, technical support is outstanding (the developer goes to infinite lengths to answer questions and recommend solutions with great speed) and the overall look and feel of the s/w makes what could be a bit of a chore something you end up wanting to do.

...and I expect we can soon see a software application titled, "Houdah Man."
