I want to share a, for me, new possibility to geo-tag foto's. I don't remember which year it was, but suddenly the Google Maps API stopped working with other software applications, including LightRoom - Map module in Version 6.4.
But today it is nice to experience that the API from Google Maps and the Lightroom Map Module of Lightroom Classic (folder-based, subscription) works fine together.
I've found a solution that allows me to geotag my photos without spending a lot of money on a new camera with a built-in GPS or a GPS logger. Which by the way are available for few brands of camera's.
There is an app available for your smartphone (Android and iOS). The only condition is, of course, that your smartphone has a GPS function.

Here is a quick link to user guide;

The guide is comprehensive. So it takes quite some time to study it.
The app costs €11.99 in the Netherlands. (That includes a free desktop version; available for Windows, Mac and Linux).
That desktop version is a necessary intermediate station between the data of the app & Lightroom CC.
To be clear, I have no affiliation with the developer(s) of this software.
I just want to let the community know about this solution.
