I have a lot of Photos with lat, long, and altitude information. When I start the import, I get an error message.

Do I need to prepare a blank point layer before importing? Is there another python plugin that is required?

I have had some Gis training, but am not a programmer. I use win7 and Lisboa.

Thanks for any answers.

Yes, you need to install the software ExifTool. The most direct method is to follow the link below,

http://hub.qgis.org/projects/geotagphotos/wiki which recommends for windows users the download from http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

I have followed this and the Geotag Photo tool in QGIS works for me. I once found a problem when I had more than one install of ExifTool, but no problems now.
