Geotags in PM 4.6.4

[anna]

Hi - I wonder if anyone can help?  I'm using PM 4.6.4 on Windows, and tagging a number of photos from various trips. The pictures are in different folders (eg based on date of import etc), but may be of the same location - is there an easy way to use the same geotag info?  eg like some favourite places?  Or do I need to go to image (or groups of images) and select set GPS co-ordinates each time.  This seems like a long winded way round, so I wasn't sure if I'd missed a trick.

Are you finding GPS coordinates on a map or are you importing a GPS log file?

I'm not importing from a gps log - is this where I'm going wrong?

No, not at all.  You can just as well pick locations on a map.

I'd suggest opening all images with similar locations into a single contact sheet tab.  You can do this from the Navigator.  Just right-click on a folder and choose to add the folder to the current contact sheet.  Then go through your images, selecting all images that were shot at a particular location and Set GPS Coordinates on each group.  This should save a lot of time over setting coordinates individually.
