Oct. 27, 2013 - "Assign a Place" to photos

After my trip, I have a ton of photos on my laptop, and I would like to be able to map them. I'm using iPhoto on a MacBook Pro, so open iPhoto and go to iPhoto>Preferences. In the middle, make sure that Automatically is selected for Look up Places:


Close the Preferences window. While browsing the photos, click the Info button at the bottom of the screen. Select the photos you want to assign to a single location (holding down the Shift key will select continuous photos; holding down the Command key will allow you to select discontinuous photos one-by-one). On Sunday, Oct. 6 I went to the 8 AM Service at Trinity Episcopal Church in Columbus, Ohio and I love their stained glass window - I selected all the photos associated with Trinity Episcopal Church.


Click in the lower-right map window where it says "Assign a Place...", then type Trinity Episcopal Church, Columbus, OH, and then click the blue highlighted choice


and a map appears with a pushpin for the location for those photos


NOTE: be sure to select the suggested option under "Google Results". I don't know where the results above the Google Results section come from, but it seems it is only good to the city-level. if that is good enough for you, then that's fine.

In iPhoto, click Places in the LIBRARY section, and see all the places to which you have located-your photos


Click on the Dayton pushpin to get its infolabel


then click on the callout button (>) to get to all 30 items I have associated with that place
