What is the best and most time-efficient way to put geographical information into LR Classic?
I find massive errors of omission and am spending too much time replicating geo data. Here is my process:
First, I place the pictures onto the right places in Map Module. (Note: my iPhone pix are already there.)
Second, I list the location in keywords in Library module, synching pictures with the same location. This is done in the top right box under Keywording title.
Third, under Keyword List in Library Mode I have hierarchical geo. For example, I have the Where>Europe>France>Paris> Eiffel Tower
Yet when I use the Metadata search for either GPS data, map location, or even City I get mostly No coordinates, Unknown, and Unknown city, respectively,
I realize LRC has some faults and doesn't link or coordinate everything. Realizing that, where should I invest my time in geotagging so that I can readily find my photos by location w/o all this extra time spent that's not yielding anything?
