Auto set GPS
« on: April 06, 2012, 09:21:23 PM »
What's the chance of having the option of GPS settings automatically set by reading the City, Location, Province, Country IPTC fields?

I imagine it would be hard to implement reliably, but would be very cool...

As I am working with the "Jobs"-Feature it would be nice to add those GPS-Settings there or into the IPTC-Stationary pad to add these data during ingest...
After 5 years of absence I restarted the photography.

This sounds like a nice feature. While I don't have a GPS device, I do try to specify the location of my shots as precise as possible. It would be nice if a feature could be implemented to fill in the coordinates based on the specified Country+City+Location. Both interactively (allowing you to select/alter the exact spot) as well as automatically/batch wise.

Not sure how easy/feasible this is going to be though…

Another vote for that...
I do think that if that feature could be implemented based on Country+City alone, it would already be a great thing...(as Hayo said, allowing one to to select/alter the exact spot).
