PhotoTalks: conversion from GPS'coordinates to location's name


conversion from GPS'coordinates to location's name

HI

I want to rename my photos.
On exiftool it's easy to get date and time. But i'd like to get the
location's name from GPS datas .
Do you know a command under shell that convert GPS's coordinate to
location's name ?
For example i'd like to get:
2019-08-12:PARIS and rename my photo .
The process is easy whith command line under shell:
you pipe exiftool with awk and rename the photo.
Thanks for your advises Bobby

Hi Bobby,

The only thing I'm thinking of for now would be to rely on a service
like Google Map and query:

curl https://www.google.fr/maps/place/40.779897,-73.968565 >
data.html

Then you will have to parse to retrieve something like "Central Park
West Historic District, New York"
