No, the GPS Data does not appear in Preview either. I have confirmed that it does appear when I view the same image in the Camera.

Other than that you need to look in the EXIF data for the photo and see what is there - if look up locations is set to automatically and correctly formatted GPS data is in the EXIF fields then both iPhoto and preview will display it correctly

Jul 1, 2014 9:57 AM in response to Old Toadby LarryHN,If look up locations is set to never then correcting it is the anserw - if it is already set then looking at the data is required as I said - but since Sony GPS data works well for me (several SONY cameras) and we have had no complaints about it here the must most likely solution is correcting the preference

Jul 3, 2014 7:08 PM in response to LarryHNby Opus100,Thanks again for responding.
I had set iPhoto to Automatically Look up Places (see my original post). I tried Old Toad's suggestion, and the data was there for some of the photos but not all. I THINK I just missed the GPS icon in the camera's display (brand new camera & my first with GPS). I have been able to import the GPS Data on my most recent photos, but as they're all taken at home I'm going to test that over the long weekend. But my best guess is that I just hadn't grabbed a GPS signal yet.

Jul 3, 2014 8:14 PM in response to Opus100by LarryHN,That can be the cause - on my Sony I download and install a GPS assist file monthly to make the process faster - https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32794/c/65,66/p/40096,40680,40 741,40748,40749/ - and I also sometimes take a photo with my iPhone so I can copy the location info
