GeoLocation info editing

The answer to your question depends on undisclosed details - you state you have Photos and are using OS X Mountain Lion which is not possible - what version of the OS and of Photos do you have?

What exactly is wrong with the GPS location (we can not address "the GPS location is wrong" - we need specific details

Some user scenarios/features for Geolocations and Photos:

1. Select one or more photos in Photos.app, drag and drop on a map. This insert the Geolocation data inside the image and/or a separate DB (user choice)
2. Select one or more photos in Finder, drag and drop on a map (Plans). This insert the Geolocation data inside the image and/or a separate DB (user choice)
3. In Finder, show maps widget for photos with geolocations data
4. In Spotlight, provide the search interface through geolocation with a widget map.
5. In Photos, select a photo. Allow the possibility to add or modify manually the geolocation
6. In Photos, on the map, give the possibility to move the pin geolocating the photo.
7. Show IPTC fields related to geolocation
8. Allow for editing of IPTC fields by individual photo or by group of photos.
9. When clicking on the relevant name in an IPTC field such as the country or city, show the shape contour of the administrative region.
10. Select a group of photos, add the country, city, etc. (This helps with massive editing of IPTC data in a non overwhelming way). For example, you know that all photos taken between these two dates were all taken in Spain. Then you can refine with subgroups all of these were taken in Barcelona, etc.
11. Allow for associating the address in the addressbook with geolocation. I have taken photos in a restaurant, I have the address of this restaurant in my addressbook. I can through the UI in Photos.app associate these photos with this restaurant vcard and get the geolocation for free.
12. Allow for reverse geocoding. Enter an address where the photo has been taken, pop up the geolocation on the map.
13. Allow for exporting indexes of photos and their geolocation data.
14. When showing photos on a map allow for selections of photos with certain subcriteria (tagging, people, etc.)
15. Allow for exporting photos without geolocation (when sharing, email, etc.) Privacy

I'm french and I don't understand this text :

1. Select one or more photos in Finder, drag and drop on a map (Plans). This insert the Geolocation data inside the image and/or a separate DB (user choice)

2. Select one or more photos in Photos.app, drag and drop on a map. This insert the Geolocation data inside the image and/or a separate DB (user choice)

These are wishes?

If not, how do you? I tried and it does not work!

This seems to be a "wish list" for features the user wants, not what's actually possible.

I am reassured and fully agree with your wishes!

All of these are features requests.

There is no way currently to do anything interesting and serious with Geolocation data in Photos (apart of displaying already geolocalized images).

IMHO, It's a pretty big mistake to release a Photos product without a minimum of location editing (see for example Photo GeoTag in Appstore). At the same time, Apple has a record of releasing version 1.0 with minimum features. We will see. But instead of just complaining, maybe we can help shape the future

For now Adobe Lightroom is a much better alternative than Photos on the geolocation front.

I use Aperture to locate my photos.

After I export photos.

Finally, I import photos with Photos.

It works very well but it's not a solution.

With Iphoto, at first glance, it does not work.

It is absolutely unacceptable that Apple would remove the geotagging functionality from it's main photos app. This is absolutely going backwards at least 5 years. Unbelievable.

Someone said the info comes from the iPhone metadata. A bunch of my recent pictures of me with my iPhone 5s say I am in Detroit and Philadelphia. I have never been to either.

If you think that's bad, my imported photos (which were literally pictures of a storefront on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a park on West 4th street, and a korean BBQ dinner on 32nd street), all said I was in Kyrgyzstan. Seriously. Apparently is a problem with photos that have been imported from Instagram. Another friend of mine had all of his instagram photos incorrectly labeled as having been taken in Tibet. He lives in Queens.

Even more ridiculous is that the geotagging was correct on my phone. In addition, when I imported the pictures using a separate application, and then imported them from a folder on my desktop into photos for mac, they were geotagged correctly the second time.

I've noticed similar issues when importing items from Facebook. I assume that is where the servers are located; Interesting back-door information if true!

iPhoto used to crash on me all the time when editing photos' geolocation. I don't know if it was because I was using an older Power Mac G5, or because Google Maps was slowing the response time to place name searches, or what. But this is a feature that needed to be fixed, not dropped. Especially for geolocating older scanned photos, there's not no option to edit geolocation in Photos. Awful...

It's not dropped, and is due in the new version in 10.11 in the Autumn.

I have this too - if I import photos in Photos direct from my camera, the geolocation is nonsensical - pictures taken by the sea in Cornwall are shown as being in the middle of Belgium! But if I import them into the computer using my ancient Canon ImageBrowser from 2011, then open those files in Photos, it's correct.

So the solution is to import your photos using a different program that supports geolocation first.

How can Apple be so incompetent!
