Can anyone recommend a free Windows app that reads and displays photo metadata? In particular I am interested in using the GPS in an Android tablet to track where we go on vacation. My wife and I are participating in a professionally led tour to Bulgaria. This is a first for us as we have never used such a service before on any of our trips. A downside of such tours often comes with a lack of being informed about where we are at all times. I suppose it comes from being led around like a heard of cattle.
I have found a program called GeoSetter <http://www.geosetter.de/en>. Any comments and/or suggestions are appreciated.
You might look at Exif Tool, it's a free utility:

I use it to extract out basic camera/exposure data and import it into our database, but it looks to have full GPS support:

Runs on Windows, Mac or as a Perl library.

Edit:
I was looking at the Exif Tools page and it turns at the program you mentioned, GeoSetter, actually makes use of the Exif Tool libs.
And especially geotagging.... http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/geotag.html (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/geotag.html) Add data to images from GPX tracks, or create GPX/KML from GPS metadata in images.
A number of applications use EXIFTool to handle metadata and geotagging and sorting images into folders by date and ..... Synchronise the times between camera and tablet, and may pay to check power draininge on tablet from having GPS tracking on.

Exiftool actually came with GeoSetter. The link you gave will provide additional information. Thanks.
