Summary0000424: Image Direction / Point of View Feature in Geosetter 3.3
DescriptionThanks for the great enhancements to Geosetter 3.3. I have a question about the image direction feature.

When I use the image view tool in Geosetter 3.3 it seems that no matter how far I move the icon (red dot with blue circle around it) towards the subject (TOWN) in the attached example screen shots the purple triangle or purple triangle stays the same size. The bottom picture in the attached example shows what the two screen shots at the top were looking at. In the attached example I would like to be able to adjust the purple triangle or purple area so that it extends just beyond the TOWN so that it more accurately represents what I saw when I took the picture. Is there a way Geosetter would allow the user to adjust the purple triangle or purple area so that it more accurately depicts the view or field of view that the photographer saw when taking the picture?

Also, how does Geosetter determine the size and angle of the purple area or triangle that represents the Image View that you see in the Map?

You are right, I could enlarge the purple triange to the look at point. But this look at position will not be saved at the moment. Maybe it would be a good idea to do it optionally (GPSDestLatitude and GPSDestLongitude).

The angle is calculated with the 35mm equivalent focal length (Angle of view, see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view ). The size is always the same. So if you have a wide angle, the length will be short, if you have a small angle (tele lens), you will hava a long triangle.

Thanks for the reply. I see version 3.3.1 now has the option to turn on or off the image direction feature.

I'm just working on your suggestion regarding the size of the purple marker, including the option to save the look at point.

Thanks. I really like the program - you do a good job about updating it on a regular basis.

I just made a donation to Geosetter.

Cheers!

Look At position will now be saved in GPSDestLatitude and GPSDestLongitude (can be disabled in application settings).
