Add or Edit GPS Data

Most modern cameras can automatically add GPS coordinates and location information. However, suppose your camera doesn’t have that option (or you’ve turned GPS tracking off). In that case, you can manually add location information by dragging photos onto the map to assign an approximate location or enter GPS coordinates and other location information in the Places section of the Info Panel.

Location information can be viewed and managed in several places inside the Mylio Photos application.

• Use the Map view to explore where images were captured and make minor location adjustments.
• Use the Places section in the Info Panel to view or edit the location information and GPS coordinates or assign an approximate location to a group of images.
  • Click the Map Expand Button to enlarge the map in the Places section.
  • Select the image(s) you want to add to the map, then:
    • Drag and drop them onto the map.
    • Right-click on the Map to add a location pin.
    • On a phone or tablet, long-press on the map location you’d like to assign.
  • When you’re done working with the map, click the arrow to minimize the map.
