Set GPS Coordinates

[YPOUJOL]

hello,
My camera records the GPS Coordinates of the location taken.
I try to update event and location in the metadata IPTC Template with the function "Set GPS coordinate".
The location on the map is correct after refreshing it.
I accept the coordinates.
I click apply
The reverse geocode cannot be selected.
The event and location form field are not updated in the metadata iptc template.
Could you help me please.

Best regards. Yves POUJOL

Open the Preferences dialog and select the GPS page.  Check the "Disable Reverse Geocoding subsystem" checkbox.  Is it checked or unchecked?

It needs to be unchecked for Reverse Geocoding to be able to be used.

If that subsystem failed to start up in the past, a dialog would have appeared allowing you to disable it and if you indicated that you wanted to disable it, PM set that checkbox for you.  Uncheck it and restart PM.  If it fails to start up again, please post your log file.  To post your Photo Mechanic log.  In Photo Mechanic go to the Help menu and choose "Reveal Support Data..." and moments later a Finder window will come forward with the zipped log file selected.  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your zipped PM log file.

Thanks,

Hi Kirk,
The "Disable Reverse Geocoding subsystem" checkbox was checked...
After unchecking it, the reverse geocoding function runs correctly.
Best regards.
