Hi
Bit of background
As the title says, Im a week into Aperture, and less than 24 hrs into GPS2Aperture, so still finding my feet away both nice pieces of software.
My simple aim is to use Aperture to build a catalogue of all my digitial photos and eventually all my old photos which I will be scanning in (ha ha, yeah, I know we all say that!)
My previous solution was using a PC running breezebrowser which worked very well for me, but since its not mac compatible, Ive moved this route after trying Lightroom and iphot
I would like to also geotag my entire collection over time with at very least a country, but ideally town / street which I think this app will do, the future is covered as I now have bought return7's place tagger on my iphone which will run when Im taking photos on my 40d which I will then merge the GPS data across using either the place tagger plug in for aperture or this app.
So to my questions.........which may have some simple answers which Ive not picked up on yet - so sorry
1) If I look at a photo thats come from my iphone (3g or 3gs) that has geotag info in it already, when I view that single image a banner appears along the photo saying geotagged. However, if I looked at one of the images that ive tagged in GPS2Aperture (using locate in GE, then set position), then no geotagged banner, but I can right click and select view on map in Aperture - am i doing something wrong when tagging?
2) Last year for my honeymoon, I borrowed a Gisteq GPS logger, which saved all my tracks in a .gps file, can the trackpool handle these files or do they have to be converted somehow to .gpx files?
3) The iphones placetagger software by default exports files as .xml, its possible to export as .gpx, I just wondered again, can trackpool handle .xml?
Im sure there will be more questions as I play with this today, but in the meantime,thanks to the dev for a great little app, and a very good supporting website.

Hi Stu,
1) Are you talking about iPhoto? I'm not aware of any 'geotagged' banner in Aperture.
2) GPSBabel is a free app which will convert between pretty well all GPS file formats.

3) In theory, almost all GPS log files are XML format of some kind, but they all look different inside. The chances are that GPS2Aperture won't be able to the the .xml files. :-(
