The Map view is optional and needs to be activated in Preferences > Other views. It allows you to see where your geo-tagged images were taken, and to add location information to non-geo-tagged images.

The Map view shows a world map with the images in the current collection pinned to their geo-tagged location (if available). This requires that images are tagged with location information. Some newer cameras, including smartphones, are already equipped with GPS receivers. Other cameras may need additional GPS hardware to do this.

Even if your camera doesn’t support this feature, there is an alternative method – Ansel can match the Exif date/time in your image(s) to a separate GPX data tracking file created by a GPS tracker, that has recorded your movements. GPS trackers can be purchased as standalone handheld devices or you can install a GPS tracker app on your smartphone. Location tagging with GPS tracking data can be done using the geotagging module, in the lighttable and Map views.

Center Map view

In the center of the Map view you will see a world map.

I dati della cartina sono presi da cartine open source su internet. Quindi, nuovi dati delle cartine sono disponibili solo se sei connesso a internet – Ansel mantiene una copia in cache sul disco delle cartine caricate precedentemente.

Puoi navigare sulla cartina utilizzando il mouse. Clicca e trascina per spostare la cartina. Usa la rotella del mouse per zoomare dentro e fuori.

Controlli ed etichette sullo schermo sono disponibili per aiutarti a trovare la strada. L’area di navigazione è situato in alto a sinistra sulla cartina – usala come alternativa a trascinare col mouse e usare la rotella del mouse. La scala della cartina è mostrata in basso a sinistra. In basso a destra puoi vedere le coordinate geografiche per il centro della mappa.

Le immagini che già hanno attributi di geolocalizzazione nei metadati vengono mostrate come icone piccole sulla mappa. Le immagini che sono vicine tra di loro vengono raggruppate e viene visualizzato il numero delle immagini raggruppate nell’angolo in basso a sinistra.

In order to assign geo coordinates to an image, activate the filmstrip on the lower panel (press Ctrl+F). You can assign a geo location to an image by dragging the image icon from the film-strip and positioning it on the map – Ansel will record the new location (latitude and longitude ) as part of the image metadata. This data will be included in exported images.

Per rimuovere i dati di posizione da un’immagine, puoi semplicemente trascinarla fuori dalla mappa e rilasciarla sulle anteprime.

Images close to each other are grouped under a single image group. You can use the map settings module to control the grouping as needed. The number displayed on the bottom left of the thumbnail is the number of images inside the group. A white number means that all images in the group are at exactly the same location, whereas a yellow number means they are not. Use the mouse scroll wheel while hovering over a group of images to scroll through the thumbnails of the images in that group.

Normally, images in the center Map view have black borders. If an image is selected in the filmstrip, then the corresponding image on the map will be highlighted with a white border.

Click+trascinamento per aggiustare la posizione di un’immagine. Maiusc+click per spostare un gruppo di immagini.

The left and right panels provide additional controls (see Map view layout).

Undo/Redo

All image movements in the Map view are recorded by Ansel. It is possible to undo or redo such changes to recover a previous state. Note that this undo/redo facility is unlimited while moving images but it is reset each time you leave the Map view.

Premi Ctrl+Z per annullare l’ultima modifica e Ctrl+Y per ripetere l’ultima modifica annullata (se presente).
