GPS photo location data

    Hi,

    I have a batch of photos from a holiday, they were taken with my android phone, on google photos they have location data, but the photos themselves don't seem to. I uploaded them to flickr and they don't have any location data.

    My guess is when uploading to google they sync the timestamp of the photo with the phones location records and get the location info that way.

    Is there a way of mass importing location data to a flickr set or just a local set of photos on my windows machine?

    cheers for any help

    Did you directly copy the files off the phone and read the EXIF data with a tool directly on the Windows system? That's the best way to be sure as some services or methods of exporting images will strip identifiable EXIF data such as GPS coords.

    EXIF data can be written modified with some tools, but I'm not aware of a way of batch-processing GPS coords retrospectively on flickr.

    Also from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif :

    "Recorded GPS data can also be added to any digital photograph on a computer, either by correlating the time stamps of the photographs with a GPS record from a hand-held GPS receiver or manually by using a map or mapping software."
