How to get a lot of meta data added to your photos with very little work?

That's a question that I've wanted answered. I'm a lazy picture taker who likes to share the photos, but don't want to make a full time job of it. So far I've automated as much of my photo publishing as possible. I simply dump by photos into a directory and run a script that changes the filenames to a datetime, and creates thumbnails and simple HTML pages from them.

To my script I added hooks to also handle a Garmin gdb file, and/or GPX files. By processing those into KML I was able to serve up my tracks to GoogleMaps.

But the end goal was always to be able to locate all the photo's. Using the GPS Track and photo timestamps this should be possible and I spent some time working towards that end.

During my work, I found GPicSync.

It does nearly everything that I wanted, and it's written in Python!
