GPS EXIF Map Generator

Select a location and generate GPS metadata in EXIF-style format.

1. Choose Location

2. GPS Coordinates

Decimal Latitude

Decimal Longitude

GPSLatitudeRef

GPSLongitudeRef

GPSLatitude

GPSLongitude

3. Altitude

Terrain / reference elevation in metres

Look up the approximate terrain elevation first. The Generate button below creates a GPSAltitude close to this reference instead of inventing an unrelated altitude.

GPSAltitude in metres

Variation below reference (m)

Variation above reference (m)

Default generator range: reference elevation −5 m through reference elevation +5 m. You can change those limits.

Generated GPSAltitudeRef

Canadian elevation reference Use the coordinates selected on the map to look up the approximate terrain elevation in Natural Resources Canada's Toporama.

Generated values are plausible helper values, not proof of what a particular phone or camera actually measured.

4. GPS Date & Time

GPSDateStamp

GPSTimeStamp

GPS date/time metadata is normally represented using UTC.

5. GPS Speed

GPSSpeedRef

GPSSpeed

Minimum

Maximum

Default 0–1.5 km/h is intended as a stationary / near-stationary helper range. Change the range if the actual situation involved movement.

6. Image Direction

GPSImgDirectionRef

GPSImgDirection (degrees)

Direction has no universal “normal” value, so Generate chooses a random valid bearing from 0° up to but not including 360°.

Compass selector

Direction not entered

0° = North
90° = East
180° = South
270° = West

7. Destination Bearing

Match GPSDestBearing to GPSImgDirection

GPSDestBearingRef

GPSDestBearing

When synchronization is enabled, this automatically follows GPSImgDirection. Disable synchronization to generate or enter a separate bearing.

8. Horizontal Positioning Error

GPSHPositioningError (metres)

Minimum error (m)

Maximum error (m)

Default helper range: 3–15 m. GPS accuracy depends heavily on sky visibility, buildings, device, and conditions, so these limits remain editable.
