Overview #
This section covers how to import GPS meta data from JPEG photos in bulk.
This feature is intended for users who have taken pictures using a device that supports saving location data to the picture.
WP Go Maps will read the GPS data from your JPEG photographs, create a marker for each JPEG, and upload the JPEG to the markers picture / gallery field.
You can see a demo generated using this feature here.
