Use HoudahGeo to geocode and geotag your photos. “Pin” photos to the exact places where they were taken.

HoudahGeo stores latitude, longitude and altitude as geotags right within the image file. Just like a GPS-enabled camera.

HoudahGeo supports many methods of geocoding, ranging from automatic to manual. Use a GPS track log, reference photos taken with iPhone or pick locations on the built-in map.

HoudahGeo works with Apple Photos, iPhoto, Aperture, and Adobe Lightroom Classic. It can notify Apple Photos, iPhoto or Aperture when location information has been updated.

Features:

View. Organize. Find!:
• Geotags tie your photos to geographical locations. View your photos on a map. Use your favorite photo cataloging tools to organize and find photos by places.
• Future-proof your photos with geotags. HoudahGeo writes EXIF, XMP, and IPTC metadata tags to JPEG and RAW image files. Industry standards ensure that the information can be used by a wide variety of software and services.
• Geotagging is essential for professionals who need to know and show where photos were taken. E.g. to document wildlife migration, locate structure damage, enhance real estate listings, etc.

Automatic geocoding:
• Use a GPS device, a track logger, or your phone to record a GPS track log. HoudahGeo matches your photos to data points in the track log.
• HoudahGeo reads many common track log file formats: GPX (GPS Exchange Format), NMEA, Garmin FIT, Wintec TES, etc.
• HoudahGeo can also connect to a wide variety of GPS devices. Download the trial version to check if your device is supported.

Geocoding Without a GPS:
