The Laserfiche Mobile app (for both Android and iOS) features the native ability to assign a Geotag field that includes the geographic coordinates of a photo taken and uploaded with your mobile device.

 

Please see this page in the online help for more information (specifically the "Geotag" section): http://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/laserfichemobile/9.1.1/en-us/lfmobile/lfmobileadmin.htm#Installation_and_Configuration/Configuration_Page_Connection.htm%3FTocPath%3DConfiguration%20Page%7CConnection%7C_____0

Interesting, I did not see that. I guess I was thinking more in terms of pictures taken outside of the app and are resting inside the repository. Good to know that feature is in the apps though

Well, the images have EXIF information, which is like metadata applied to the electronic document. It is not unreasonable to setup a workflow to run a custom script that will retrieve the actual electronic document and read out those values for you to use in metadata. This is however the only way I would think we currently can accomplish something like this. 

 

This type of question has been asked before. I remember posting some links to valuable sites that would help you do some of the groundwork for this task.

Thanks for reply, now second question:

Does anyone have the script already or is on the way?

I have not done something like this, but i am sure if you were trying to find it online, you would simply need to search around for .NET or C# examples of retrieving EXIF data from a document and work backwards from there. I believe you can use some workflow activities to store into a token the location of a file, so that will help out in retrieving the electronic file to retrieve the information from.

If someone has already made the script, would appreciate sharing it.
