Built my own photo mapping and export software
I’ve posted in here before about creating my own comp mapping software. I also wanted to share about this software that I made using Claude Code to help expedite and enhance site inspection photos in the report. I am able to import batch inspection photos, quick caption them from a dropdown menu, and the coolest part is that it uses the geo location info from the phone pictures to automatically generate where each photo was taken and which direction it was taken in. For example a quick caption from the dropdown options would be “Looking NW on Main Street” or “Driveway View from Main Street”. Using the geo location info I also included an option to show map pins for where each photo was taken (helpful in the report for large land tracts to show context). There is a full map overview option and also an embedded thumbnail map in the corner of each photo showing the pin location of that specific photo. Then you are able to export the images to a Word Doc with different options for number of photos per page and the software automatically sizes and positions the photos properly with the captions. Then it’s an easy copy and paste of all of the photos at once from the exported Word Doc into your report. Thought it was pretty cool so figured I would share.
