Import, visualize, and export geotagged photos directly on your ATAK map. Transform your photo library into actionable geospatial intelligence.
Everything you need to turn your photo collection into map-ready geospatial data
Scan DCIM, Pictures, Downloads, or any custom folder for geotagged JPG files. Automatically extract GPS coordinates, altitude, and camera metadata from EXIF headers.
Display photos as interactive markers on the ATAK map. Click any marker to preview the full photo with metadata, AI analysis, and location details.
Export photo layers to KML for Google Earth, GeoPackage for GIS applications, or GeoJSON for web mapping. Include full metadata and photo paths.
Automatically parse GPS coordinates, altitude, timestamps, camera make/model, focal length, aperture, ISO, and image dimensions from photo metadata.
Leverage Vision AI to analyze photos for object detection, scene classification, anomaly detection, and automatic description generation.
Convert any geotagged photo into a persistent ATAK placemark with media attachments for sharing with team members.
Three simple steps to transform your photos into map layers
Select a folder containing geotagged JPGs. The system automatically scans and extracts GPS data from EXIF headers.
Toggle the map overlay to display photos as markers. Click any marker to preview the image and view metadata.
Export your photo layer to KML, GeoPackage, or GeoJSON for use in other GIS tools or sharing with your team.

Real-world applications for tactical and field operations
Import photos from field cameras or drones to visualize observation points and key terrain features on the tactical map.
Document infrastructure damage with geotagged photos and share assessments with command via KML or GeoPackage export.
Rapidly import and map photos from first responders to coordinate response efforts and document scene conditions.
Map wildlife sightings, vegetation patterns, or environmental conditions using photos from field surveys.
Track construction progress by importing geotagged site photos and overlaying them on project plans.
Document patrol routes and points of interest with geotagged photos for after-action review and reporting.
Share your photo layers in industry-standard formats
Part of the Tactical AI ATAK Plugin ecosystem
