When I view pictures in Photo, my Mac will organize pictures by location, which is awesome. If I move pictures out of Photo into a finder folder (which I often do to sort differently), it isn't obvious how to find the location information. I would have assumed I could use "Get Info" to see the GPS coordinates, but it's almost never there. Does the GPS location get stripped off when moving pictures out of Photo?
Thanks, Rich, I think you found the issue. I wasn't exporting, I was dragging and dropping. Apparently dragging from Photo to a folder doesn't necessarily include location data. Using the Export command, I at least have the option of including (or not) the GPS info.

Dragging and dropping will just save a preview, without data. Only with exporting as described by Rich you will have the full control over the quality and the embedded metadata.
But it will depend on the system version you have installed, which of the methods will work. Which version of Photos and MacOS X do you have installed?
In Finder, double click on the photo to view it in Preview. From Preview, click on Tools/Show Inspector. The GPS and location information will be there, providing that you exported the location information.

You need to view the folder in the column view:
Even in column view I don't see location info...
Great. Glad we got to the bottom of it.

How do I get "lost" location/GPS data from iPhone pix?
