GPS coordinate numbers. Where is it?

N8. Anna. Maps 3.06
While viweing at a particular place on the map, I don't seem to be able to find the GPS coordinate of that particular place. Selecting it only provides the options of "Navigate", "Save" and "Share". Any idea?
Solved!

Thought that ability to retrieve co-ordinates disapeared from v3.06 onwards, especially since "Landmarks" application no longer compatible with S^3!

I think you can only see the map. To see the actual EXIF data you would need to export and use a viewer.

Photos. Where are the GPS coordinates?

Geotagged photo taken with N9 camera. When the photos are trasnfered to PC, I can see it under Properties/Details. But when I view it in N9 using N9's default photo viewer, I couldn't find the coordiantes.What did I do wrong?

GPS coordinates are embedded in file in so called EXIF data. Maybe your OS can not read this EXIF data. You need a proper picture viewer, like IrfanView

Bug in Preview's Exif viewer (inverted GPS coordinates)?

Hi,
I've been scratching my head quite a lot over this one...
I'm finalizing an application that gets your GPS coordinates off your Google Latitude history and uses them to geotag your pictures. The idea is to make it easier to use the "Places" functionality of iPhoto, Picasa, etc...
Anyway, I cannot explain why Preview seems to display an incorrect longitude (it drops the "-" sign which places a California picture somewhere in China...) when Exiftool, Picasa and, yes, even iPhoto seem to get it right.
I know some of you will probably think I'm looking at 2 different pictures (I probably would think the same if I were you) but I've double, triple checked. In fact a simple "Show in finder" from iPhoto or Picasa will bring up the picture for me to double-click.
Anyway, see for yourself:
The picture in question
Exiftool
in iPhoto
in Picasa
in Preview
Any feedback appreciated.

However, that would not explainwhy the very complete exiftool output is spotless (as far as I can tell). IPhoto and Picasa also get it right...
That's all well and good. But even if you have smoking-gun evidence that there is a bug in Preview (and it isn't a show-stopping bug either), it will be months, if not years until said bug is fixed. Until then, your output will not work in Preview. So, in any case, you are going to have to modify your code to produce output that Preview can read. Other applications are able to produce such files that Preview can understand. What is the difference?
My advice is to continue working with other tools to generate identical files with identical tags. Then find the difference in output between the other tool and yours. That should identify where the bug lies.

IPhoto 11 GPS Coordinates

Where can I find the GPS coordinates in iPhoto 11 for geotagged pics? In iPhoto 09 this information was available under the Photos menu "Show Extended Photo Information".

Afraid not. However, as Larry suggested you can use x EXIF Viewer for Mac OS X to get the GPS coordinates from the file. Just launch EXIF Viewer and drag the photos from iPhoto's window onto the EXIF Viewer icon in the Dock to get this:
No need to export the photo to get the info.

How to set GPS coordinates directly for a photo

I use places extensively and tag my photos using the Aperture Places.
Photos taken at the same location as another photo are easily dealt with using lift/stamp metadata.
However for some photos I only have the GPS coordinates. E.g. from a dive trip, where Google Maps doesn't help.
Then I'm stuck with a bunch of photos for which I have no direct way of entering the coordinates.
So far my workaround have been to use Houdahgeo:
- Enter coordinates directly on a dummy photo
- Import dummy photo in Aperture
- Use lift/stamp metadata to transfer coordinates to my photos
I wonder if this is really the easiest workaround?
Another workaround would be to:
- Create a GPS track file with the coordinates
- Import GPS track to Aperture Places
- Place my photos on top of the imported track
However I'm not aware of how to make an GPS track file and I don't know if Aperture can handle a GPS track with only one point.
Is there a more direct way setting the coordinates?

Thanks that helped a lot.
When coordinates are entered using N/S/E/W Google will return the nearest place to that location. E.g. :
8.847772 N 119.9123111 E
Returns Mimaropa somewhere in the Sulu Sea, but hundreds of kilometers from the coordinates in the example above.
To get dead on accurate positioning the coordinates have to be entered in decimal format. E.g.:
8.847772, 119.9123111
Which lands me near Tubbataha Reef in the Sulu Sea.
So what I do now is to
Manage My Places
Enter the lat, long coordinates in decimal form in the search
Wait for Google to display the coordinates
Select it and press + to add the location to My Places
Assign a place name for the dive site
When that's done it is a breeze assigning the dive site to my photos

Manually geotagging using GPS coordinates - not location names?

I recently came back from a vacation in Oregon where I took close to 1000 pictures. Since I knew it would be difficult to remember the exact location of every picture, I brought along a standard GPS and took a snapshot of the coordinates displayed on the screen at each location I took pictures. I probably should have tested my theory first, but I assumed I could just plug the GPS coordinates manually into iPhoto. It turns out I can only use a location name - not coordinates. Since most of my photos were taken away from civilization, they don't exactly have names.
I don't mind doing a little manual work to make this work, but does anybody know how I can get exact GPS coordinates on my picture? I don't really want to just type "Portland Starbucks" or something and have to drag around until I'm close to where I think the picture was taken.
Thanks for your help!

iPhoto has a neat feature called "Help"
Here is what it says about your question:
*Using latitude and longitude to add places to your photos*
If you have latitude and longitude information for the place where you shot your photos, you can use it to add the location to your photos and Events.
To use latitude and longitude to add a place:
Select the photo or Event you want to add location information to.
Click the Information button in the lower-right corner.
This “flips” the photo thumbnail or Event tile so that you can enter information about it on the “back.”
NOTE:You can also select and add locations to more than one photo in an Event or other group, without adding locations to them all. To do so, select the desired photos by dragging or Command-clicking, move your pointer over the selected photos, and then click the “i” button for any one of them. Continue to step 3.
Select “photo place” for photos or “event place” for Events, and then choose “Find on map” from the pop-up menu that appears as you type.
The Add New Place dialog appears.
In the search field, type the latitude and longitude, separated by a comma.
For example, you can type “24, -110” or, if you prefer, you can use a longer format, such as “24.15988731, -110.50838234.” It’s important to always put the latitude first.
Look at the map to confirm the location, and then do one of the following:
If the location is correct, continue to step 6.
If the location is incorrect, you can enter the latitude and longitude in the search field again, or drag the pin to a more exact location on the map.
If you want, use the plus and minus buttons to zoom in and out, and drag the map to center it on a better spot.
When you’re finished, click the Assign button.

Can Lightroom recognize and import gps coordinates from xmp files?

Hello guys
i have LR 4.2 and using Lion with a MBP.
I recently got gps4cam for my iphone to record gps coordinates.
Unfortunately i imported all the pix of my vacation to LR instead of importing them with the gp24cam app first
so Now i have the xmp files with gps coordinates in a separate file for each photo, but LR even though ca see that file, does not import any of the info on it
Is there a way to force LR to read and recognize those gps coordinates without having to delete all the pix of my vacation from LR, and re-import them to my mac before with the gps4cam app and afterwards import em in LR.?
i mean i cant believe there is not way to do that...
y LR can read and recognize gps coordinates if are on a picture, but cant recognize and attach those same coordinate to the original fine if they are in a separate xmp file?
thanks for your input guys
matteo

I would process differently:
Import your images as usual directly into LR, without the GPS data
copy the gpx-track from your external device to a storage sport from where LR can access it (my choice: same folder as my images).
Use either the map module to populate LR records with the GPS data (as stated by jim1403) or a plugin from Jeffrey Friedl for geo-encoding.
If you want to have the GPS data in your xmp, trigger the save from LR then (cmd s; may be auto-activated in your catalog settings)
Please note that several import problems have been reported by using other software before LR to update something. Do not let your GPS tracking software touch your images, especially if it offers to write into your proprietary raw files, at least not into your only copy of them... I consider this way too dangerous for my precious negatives. If it also creates xmp, then fine.
I am also a happy user of MotionX-GPS.
The real disdavantage of the LR command to read metadata from files is that it is all-or-nothing: it would be so convenient if one could choose which partial sort of metadata (EXIF, IPTC, development, GPS-coordinates, rating+caption+title) - but that would be a matter of a feature request, not for this forum.

Saved by sms with gps coordinates!

"A man saved his life after he sent an SMS message containing gps coordinates where he was after an accident in the mountains!"
This could have been heading for a quick successful rescue, if the opportunity to add the coordinates from the phone gps into an SMS message had been there!
In sms application on the phone (I use the Nokia N82), it should be a way to turn gps on and a simple way been added the coordinates into a normal sms!
Example:
"Help! I walked in the mountains, and has fallt to fractured leg and need help as soon as possible! I am here: N61*(degrees)38,182 E008*18,720 Come quickly! I'm freezing!"
This message could have been sent to a friend who had given the information on to the rescue team that had shown exactly where you were!
In the news have heard about many a rescue action in the mountains where the injured have been in contact with the rescue team by phone but have not been rescued in time because they had not found him until it was too late ...
This life-saving opportunity has to come!

If you really want to send your co-ordinates by SMS then go into GPS data, select position to bring up the co-ordinates. Switch to a new SMS and type the co-ordinates in exactly and send it.
Why make it difficult when it can be done easily?
The advantage of coordinates as plain text in the SMS message is that anyone can read it no matter what brand phone you have and your grandmother can help you too!

Adress to GPS-coordinates

I'm working on a little project of mine.
I'm trying to make an app which can find stores around you.
But let's say I have a DB with all the adresses to the store (e.g New York city and then the street adress). Can I in any way show that store as a blue needle in a map on my iphone? Like show where the store is on the map?
And if I can do I need to convert the adress to GPS-coordinates?

How to send from IPhoto to GPS coordinates?

how to send from IPhoto to GPS coordinates?

Do you wish to locat a photo using Lat/Long? See iPhoto Help
Add places to your photos
If you have photos that don’t have GPS information, including print photos that were scanned to a disk, you can still map your photos in Places.
https://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/help/index.html?lang=en#
Watch the movie (about 2 minutes)
View and organize photos using Places
iPhoto matches recognizable location names you enter, such as “Seattle” or “Milan,” to a mapping database. When you add a location to a single photo or an entire Event, those photos are marked on the Places map.
Or, if you have latitude and longitude information for the place where you shot your photos, you can use that information to add the location.
Important: You must be connected to the Internet for the Places feature to show photo locations on the map.
Show
To add a place name:
Hide
To use latitude and longitude to add a place:
Select the photo or Event you want to add location information to.Tip: If you select an Event, the location is added to every photo in that Event. But you can add locations to selected photos without adding locations to them all. To do so, select the photos you want, move your pointer over them, and then click the Info button. Skip to step 3.
Click the Info button to open the Information pane.
Select “Assign a Place,” and then type the latitude and longitude, separated by a comma.For example, you can type “24, -110” or, if you prefer, you can use a longer format, such as “24.15988731, -110.50838234.”It’s important to always put the latitude first.
Look at the map to confirm the location, and then do one of the following:
If the location is correct, continue to step 5.
If the location is incorrect, retype the latitude and longitude, or drag the pin to a more exact location on the map.You can use the plus and minus buttons to zoom in and out, and drag the map to center it on a better spot.Note: You can move marker pins only in the small map that appears below Places in the Information pane. You can’t drag marker pins on the full-size Places map.
If you want, you can view the location marked on the full Places map by clicking the arrow next to the location name.

How can I delete ONLY the GPS coordinates from my Hi Res images WITHOUT "Save four Web" or Lightroom

Hello,
I take hi res pics of rare wildlife and plants with both my Camera's and iPhone's GPS deliberately ENABLED. Use the photos and their GPS coordinates to document and plot my sightings with dates on maps. CANNOT disclose those locations to others. I do want to keep the metadata in my pics to the very end.
Use Photohop Extended CS 6 MAC. Save files as hi res TIFF or PSD and sometimes e-mail/upload my pics to the web when I'm done.
I CANNOT use "Save for Web" to delete my metadata — I don't want the jpeg's lossy compression. Need to preserve color profiles.
Don't have Lightroom.
How do use Photoshop to remove ONLY the GPS coordinates from my hi res images EXIF data??? Want to keep other EXIF data.
Surely Adobe can provide this life-saving service?
Thanks

Yep, as others mentioned, just use Bridge and delete the entries there. You can select a whole batch of files and do them all at once.

Can the iOS Field Test app data be written to file with GPS coordinates of readings?

I can run the Field Test app on my iPhone5 but I cannot automatically store the data revealed by the app. Would it be possible to do this? and link the GPS coordinates to the data? or is the network data not accessible from an app?

Ask the App developer. There is no such app native on the device.

How can I get the gps coordinates on my ipad which was stolen today?

My ipad was stolen today, how can I get the gps coordinates to report to the sherriff?

If Find My iPhone (iPad) was turned on on your iPad and the iPad is on and connected to the Internet you will be able to locate it. Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID and password. If the device is off or not connected to the Internet you can send a signal to lock or erase the iPad but that action will not complete until the iPad is connected to the Internet.
If you did not have find my iPhone turned on there is no way to track your iPad.
