May 5, 2014 8:51 AM in response to LarryHNby macrmj,Yes, it was already set to automatically.
For years I have been able to look up and assign new Places, but in the last few months it simply has not worked.

May 5, 2014 9:45 AM in response to macrmjby LarryHN,There have been comments of Google issues recently - I do not assign locations that way very often since my camera has a built in GPS
Maybe it is an issue that will start working in a while - how long has the problem been gong on?

May 6, 2014 12:45 AM in response to LarryHNby macrmj,It's been that way for several months now.
I found other conversations on the web about the same problem. They were very technical, but it appeared that no one had figured it out, not even Apple.

May 29, 2014 12:45 AM in response to macrmjby jbecky,I have this same problem on my new MacBook Pro. The biggest problem is that the embedded Google will NOT find most things that Google Maps finds. For example, the Oberoi Amarvillas in Agra India.
I also can't move the pin for any of the places it already knows. I wonder if this might be related to trackpad settings? I can't find one that looks like it might help.
I can find locations using their map coordinates (for example, 27.168647, 78.049150) and then go back and rename the place to something more helpful. But I can't fine tune the size of the location, which makes it hard to have highly localized places. And it gets the name of the state wrong, which makes it hard to find locations by general location.
This puts a damper on processing photos right away, if I can't record them while I still remember their locations.
