Analyze a Trip by Image Metadata
Using pictures and their metadata, you can perform geo computations to visualize and analyze a walking tour of Lisbon, Portugal.
Import and analyze a collection of photos taken during a visit.
In[1]:=

files = Map[
   img \[Function] ExampleData[img, "FilePath"],
   ExampleData[{"TestImageSet", "Lisbon2016"}]
   ];Gather all the information required in an association.
In[2]:=

labels = {"Thumbnail", "DateTime", "GeoPosition"};In[3]:=

dataSet = Dataset@Map[
   file \[Function] 
    AssociationThread[
     labels -> 
      Import[file, {labels}, IncludeMetaInformation -> False]],
   files
   ]Out[3]=

Visualize locations where images where taken.
In[4]:=

gps = dataSet[[All, "GeoPosition"]];
GeoGraphics[GeoMarker@gps, GeoRangePadding -> Quantity[100, "Meters"]]Out[4]=

Compute the walking distance to take all pictures and return.
In[5]:=

closeLoop = path \[Function] Append[path, First[path]];In[6]:=

sortedGPS = 
  closeLoop@
   Normal@dataSet[SortBy["DateTime"], Take[#GeoPosition, All, 2] &];
UnitConvert[
 TravelDistance[sortedGPS, TravelMethod -> "Walking"], "Kilometers"]Out[6]=

Visualize the path to take all photos in temporal order.
In[7]:=

travel = TravelDirections[sortedGPS, TravelMethod -> "Walking"]Out[8]=

In[9]:=

Animate[
 GeoGraphics[{
   Style[Normal@travel["Dataset"][1 ;; n, "Path"], Thick, Red],

  GeoRangePadding -> Quantity[200, "Meters"]
  ],

Compute and visualize the shortest path that could have been used instead.
