![]() When you unzip the download file make sure that the file named ‘gps-jfriedl.lrplugin’ is placed in one of these two directories on your Mac. What you do need is a superb plugin from Jeffrey Friedl, suitably and nerdily named Geoencoding support which comes with a 6 week free use period whereafter an honor system contribution is called for. And yes, it will be a cold day in hell before I change to the subscription model with this dishonest business and lose control over my images.īut we do not need Maps in LR for what follows to work. A couple of lines of code would have fixed the issue. The real reason they did this was to force owners of the non-subscription version to sign up for a subscription with its monthly toll. They claimed it was changes at Google which irretrievably broke Maps. When Adobe changed to a monthly subscription model they dishonestly and purposefully broke the ‘Maps’ module in non-subscription versions of LR so that you can no longer view your picture location in the LR app. I’m using the last version of non-subscription LR, 6.4. My digital image management software is Lightroom and what follows is Lightroom specific, Mac or Windows. A GPS tracking app on that iPhone – I use GPS Tracks, an app that is actively supported.An iPhone in your pocket – I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro Max.Two components are required to geotag your digital images: While what follows is Apple-centric this approach will work equally well with Android/Windows, when you are not busy rebooting your Windows computer, that is. I continue to regard geotagging as an important tool when it comes to retrieving old images, a tremendous aid to putting them in a specific time and place.īut there’s an easier and more reliable approach than using a costly hardware dongle, one which does not display the frequent connection loss suffered by the hardware approach described over a decade ago and which will work with any digital image with a time stamp. I last addressed geotagging in 2012 when I attached a GPS receiver to my Nikon D700 and recorded GPS data on a separate data logger, a small storage device carried in the pocket. Some manufacturers, like Nikon, will sell you a separate GPS unit conceptually similar to the one linked immediately below. Even most of the latest digital cameras are deficient in not providing built-in geotagging in the interest of saving on battery drain, and saving on cost, as no GPS receiver is required. While images taken on a cellphone are automatically geotagged, most digital cameras do not provide this facility. ‘Geotagging’ refers to the addition of GPS location data to your digital images.
