Direction of Photo Attachment

MillionMap

I have points created in Field Maps with a photo attachment, I'd like to be able to display the direction the photo is pointing to.  Preferably with an arrow or any sort of 'pointing' symbol.  Is there a way to do this?  The plan is to have these points and photo directions displaying within ArcPro.

I think it depends on if your images have direction data in the EXIF info. There is a GPSImgDirection tag in the EXIF specification under the GPS section, but this does not guarantee that it will actually be available on your images (that depends on the camera used to take the photos - it needs to have the necessary sensors and save that data to the EXIF tags.)

 

If you do have that EXIF data though, you could theoretically extract the GPSImgDirection, add that to a field on a layer, and use that to set symbol rotation.
