  This format reads and writes GPS information embedded in 
   <a class="ulink" href="http://www.exif.org" target="_top">EXIF</a>, 
   the Exchangeable Image Format, data.  EXIF is a standardized method
  of encoding data in pictures such as JPEG, TIFF, and WAV and is frequently
  used by mobile phones with cameras and cameras with built-in GPS.
</p><p>
  EXIF is frequently used for Geolocating photographs so their images can be
  correlated with time and location.
</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="fmt_exif_o_filename"></a><code class="option">filename</code> option</h3></div></div></div><p>
      Set waypoint name to source filename.
    </p><p>
  With this default option waypoint names are generated from source filename.
</p><p>
  <strong class="userinput"><code>
     gpsbabel -i exif -f "C:\Pictures\IMG_1199.JPG",filename=Y -o gpx -F OUT.GPX
  </code></strong>
  The resulting waypoint in OUT.GPX has name IMG_1199.
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="fmt_exif_o_frame"></a><code class="option">frame</code> option</h3></div></div></div><p>
      Time-frame (in seconds).
    </p><p>
   Frame means the maximum time difference that we accept between the EXIF time information
   of a picture and the timestamp of a track-, route- and waypoint used for tagging. 
   Without this option the maximum time frame is 10 seconds.
</p><p>
  <strong class="userinput"><code>gpsbabel -i gpx -f holiday.gpx -o exif,frame=60 -F IMG0784.JPG</code></strong>
</p><p>
   If the camera time wasn't adjusted, you should move the track(s) by the this difference.
   I.e. if the camera time is five minutes behind your time, the track(s) should be shifted
   five minutes back.
</p><p>
  <strong class="userinput"><code>gpsbabel -i gpx -f holiday.gpx -x track,move=-5m -o exif,frame=60 -F IMG0784.JPG</code></strong>
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="fmt_exif_o_name"></a><code class="option">name</code> option</h3></div></div></div><p>
      Locate waypoint for tagging by this name.
    </p><p>
   When you specify a name with this option we're looking for a waypoint
   with this name. And, if found, the GPS information of this point is used
   for tagging the image file.
</p><p>
  <strong class="userinput"><code>gpsbabel -i gpx -f holiday.gpx -o exif,name="On the beach" -F IMG0786.JPG</code></strong>
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="fmt_exif_o_overwrite"></a><code class="option">overwrite</code> option</h3></div></div></div><p>
      !OVERWRITE! the original file. Default=N.
    </p><p>
   In the default case GPSBabel reads the output file (the file that should be
   tagged with GPS information) and then creates a new file with an additional
   .JPG extension. With this option in a final step the original file will be
   deleted and the new file renamed as the original filename.
