Of course your GPS must be on.<\/p>\n<p>But most cameras (even the DSLR ones), do not have GPS to do geotagging. So you most likely have a <strong>large collection of photos without any GPS<\/strong> (Geotagging) information.<\/p>\n<p>After trying different ways to do this, I conclude the main problem is <strong>how to geotag in batches<\/strong> (multiple files at once), since most of the times, you take your multiple photos in one location (holidays, wedding, events).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Best Tools : Picasa!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I use Windows 10, so what I wrote after this will have Windows 10 as reference.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the best tool is the obsolete <strong>Picasa<\/strong> that was discontinued by Google.<br \/>\nLast version is 3.9.141 (Build 259).<\/p>\n<p>You can download via Softpedia (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.softpedia.com\/get\/Multimedia\/Graphic\/Graphic-Viewers\/Picasa.shtml\">http:\/\/www.softpedia.com\/get\/Multimedia\/Graphic\/Graphic-Viewers\/Picasa.shtml<\/a>) or <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/picasaresources\/Home\/Picasa-FAQ\/picasa\/general-information\/update-picasa-to-latest-version\">https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/picasaresources\/Home\/Picasa-FAQ\/picasa\/general-information\/update-picasa-to-latest-version<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Why Picasa? Because they provide maps inside the Picasa itself&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I have tried to use <strong>GeoSetter<\/strong> and <strong>EXIF Pilot<\/strong>, but the problem is they are too troublesome on batch processing. For EXIF Pilot you are required to pay USD 79 to have batch processing enabled, but you need to key in the coordinates (not visual interface).<\/p>\n<p>The problem with Picasa : it&#8217;s discontinued, while other Google components and Windows are keep updated, so two majors issues happened. Below is how to deal with them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6370\" style=\"width: 1523px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/edunik.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/51-GooglePicasa2.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6370\" data-attachment-id=\"6370\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/edunik.com\/home\/?attachment_id=6370\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/edunik.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/51-GooglePicasa2.jpg?fit=1513%2C854\" data-orig-size=\"1513,854\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;e2rd san&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1532858459&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"51-GooglePicasa2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Picasa has window to visually geotag your photo&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/edunik.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/51-GooglePicasa2.jpg?fit=300%2C169\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/edunik.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/51-GooglePicasa2.jpg?fit=620%2C350\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6370\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/edunik.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/51-GooglePicasa2.jpg?resize=620%2C350\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/edunik.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/51-GooglePicasa2.jpg?w=1513 1513w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/edunik.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/51-GooglePicasa2.jpg?resize=300%2C169 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/edunik.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/51-GooglePicasa2.jpg?resize=768%2C433 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/edunik.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/51-GooglePicasa2.jpg?resize=1024%2C578 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/edunik.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/51-GooglePicasa2.jpg?w=1240 1240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6370\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Picasa has window to visually geotag your photo<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Error 1 : Geotag window&nbsp; in Picasa showing blank page with text : &#8220;OBJECT ERROR&#8221;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This can be fixed by following step :&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open Regedit (from Windows &#8211; Start, type &#8220;regedit&#8221;)<\/li>\n<li>Go to :&nbsp; <strong>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\InternetExplorer\\Main\\FeatureControl\\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click right click, create <strong>DWORD<\/strong> with name : <strong>picasa3.exe<\/strong> and value:&nbsp;<strong>2af8<\/strong> (hexa) or <strong>11000<\/strong> (decimal)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Error 2 : Cannot Open Google Earth (suggesting to install, while you know you already have it).<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If the Map window is not working, you still can use Google Earth to tag from Picasa (menu : Tool &#8211; Geotag).<\/p>\n<p>But there is common error suggesting you install Google Earth (while you already have it).<\/p>\n<p>This is because you install the latest Google Earth in 64 bit, which have folder in different location, not in C:\\Program Files (x86).<\/p>\n<p>How to handle this?
