[GIS] How to import georeferenced photos (jpg, kml, kmz) using QGIS or ArcGIS for Desktop

.jpgarcgis-desktopkmlkmzqgis

I've got several georeferenced digital photos as jpg, kml, and kmz.
How can I import them into my GIS projects (QGIS or ArcGIS for Desktop) so I can open them as a popup?

Best Answer

QGIS has a plugin called "Photo2Shape" that will convert the geotagged coordinates of the photo into a shapefile.

You can then use the "eVis" plugin to set up hotlinks to the photos themselves, and launch a photo viewer by clicking on the attribute field.
