<p>This plugin uses Google Maps API v3 to translate an address to lat/lng coordinates. A Google Maps API key is required.</p>
<h3>Fequently Asked Questions</h3>
<h4>How do I retrieve the coordinates?</h4>
<p>Access your data in the loop using the following functions, with the post ID passed as a parameter. For the full coordinates (in brackets):</p>
<pre><code><?php echo get_geocode_latlng( $post->ID ); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>For the Latitude:</p>
<pre><code><?php echo get_geocode_lat( $post->ID ); ?>

<p>GPS 2 Photos lets you view, add, or edit EXIF GPS coordinates for JPEG and WebP images in the WordPress Media Library and galleries powered by NextGEN, Envira, FooGallery, or Modula.<br />
It displays existing GPS data as editable fields (Media Library only), or provides a button to add or update coordinates. Clicking the button opens a map interface where you can set a location by simply clicking on the map, searching for a place, or typing them in manually.</p>
<p>This plugins extends the functionality of the Geo 2 Maps add-on for NextGEN Gallery which displays maps with photos, galleries, or albums using EXIF GPS data.</p>
<p>The plugin is using Microsoft Azure Maps and requires free Azure Maps API Key to function described below.<br />
To amend EXIF GPS coordinates is using the PHP Exif Library (PEL) by Martin Geisler. (Copyright (C) 2004–2006 Martin Geisler. Licensed under the GNU GPL. https://github.com/FileEye/pel )</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>WordPress Media Library & NextGEN Gallery Integration:</strong> Works seamlessly inside the standard Media Library and also adds an “Add/Amend GPS” option to images in the NextGEN Gallery management page.</li>
<li><strong>Gallery Support:</strong> Integrates with popular gallery plugins, including NextGEN Gallery, Envira Gallery, FooGallery, and Modula.</li>
<li><strong>View GPS Data:</strong> See a map with a pin for any image that has GPS coordinates in its EXIF data for JPEG photos and EXIF/XMP for WebP images.</li>
<li><strong>Edit & Add GPS Data:</strong> Easily add or change an image’s location by dragging the pin or clicking anywhere on the map.</li>
<li><strong>Interactive Map Modal:</strong> A clean and simple map interface with a location search bar opens in a modal window.</li>
<li><strong>Backup & Restore:</strong> The plugin automatically backs up original GPS data, allowing you to restore it with a single click.</li>
<li><strong>Azure Maps Integration:</strong> Utilizes the powerful and reliable Azure Maps for displaying map tiles.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin relies on Microsoft Azure Maps to display interactive map in the WordPress admin area and obtain GPS coordinates.<br />
It’s using additional modules to enable search for location functionality (geocoding), browser‑based geolocation and fullscreen option.</p>
<h3>What data is sent and when</h3>
<p>Plugin sends sample geolocation query to the Azure REST server to validate the API Key.<br />
When the map loads or when the user interacts with it, the browser sends requests to Azure Maps servers. These requests may include:<br />
* Search queries entered by the user or location coordinates<br />
* Standard HTTP request data (e.g., IP address, browser type, OS)<br />
* Map tile requests triggered by zooming or panning</p>
<p>If the user chooses to use the map’s “Locate Me” button, their location is only shared if they explicitly grant permission in their browser.</p>
<h3>API key and account requirement</h3>
<p>To use this plugin, the site owner must create a free Azure Maps account and generate an API key.<br />
Azure Maps offers a <strong>free tier</strong> with generous limits that typical individual or small‑site usage is very unlikely to exceed.</p>
