how to view GPS metadata in preview?

Hi!

It seems possible to view metadata in Preview by opening a file, hitting cmd+I and selecting GPS (sorry, it is in Italian – http://apple.hdblog.it/2010/08/23/come-accedere-a-tante-informazioni-delle-foto- fatte-con-iphone-tramite-anteprima/). But it seems not working with me... Anyway... can I see GPS metadata on Photos or somewhere else? In Photos I can see the position, but not the GPS data... and in Preview I don't have the GPS palette, as you see from the picture.

Thank you very much in advance!

Regards

S.

You will only see the GPS tab if there is actual GPS metadata. If the tab is not showing, the file does not have GPS location data.

By default, when you export from Photos, it does not include the GPS position data. You can enable that in Photos Preferences, General tab.
