Thanks for your post. I am new to this topic of geotagging, (at least consciously new). I have found some cool programs for geotagging and I appreciate this article about a couple of mac programs. I have both a mac and windows computer, and like always it is a lot easier to find products for windows.
As a newbie it is always nice to find new direct info to learn from, and this was great. Thank you.

Thanks again. Best of luck on your travels.

@Pierre: Thank you for commenting and alerting me to a few of these functionalities in HoudahGeo that I had missed earlier when looking for them. It is a great piece of software and runs very quickly.

I know see that the “Inspector” window allows you to add a title and description and embed this into the EXIF area. I’ve made a correction in the article above. Is there also an area to add tags/keywords (not connected with location – e.g., birds, beach, etc.)? This is useful when uploading directly from HoudahGeo to Flickr.

I had found the preview image function earlier, but it only showed one image at a time. Since I’m usually batching hundreds of photos, it’s useful to have thumbnails of all the images at once allows me to easily scan through and pick out geotagged photos that are located near non-geotagged photos for easy manual geotagging. Is there a way to show thumbnails of all the photos imported?

Thanks for your help in improving this review.

HoudahGeo does offer the option to add descriptions, title, reverse geocoding data, â€¦ . You will find these options in the “Inspector” window.

HoudahGeo does show image previews. You may activate the Preview window from the Windows menu.

Best,

@Migrationology: It may seem a bit geeky to go through this process, but having recently gone through thousands of photos from India and Nepal from 2008, I was SO thankful that everything was geotagged so that I never got confused as to where that beautiful temple was located or where we ate that awesome meal. Let me know if you have any other questions as you try it out.

Good tutorial here, I don’t normally geotag my photos, but from your recommendation, I will look more into it! Thanks for the info!
