Using Location Data in Lightroom
This article appeared in Issue 12 of CreativePro Magazine.“Where did you take that?” comes up a lot when sharing photos. It’s a complicated question. Some people are satisfied to learn the city or region, while others (especially photographers) are looking for the exact spot where you stood to get the shot. The where is often as important as the what in the photo.
It used to be far more difficult to assign location information to images. Now we have smartphone cameras in our pockets that automatically record specific GPS coordinates when they capture a photo. Plus, Lightroom Classic and Lightroom desktop include several ways to easily tag images with locations.

Is there any way to get the Location(rough), City, State/Prov and Country metadata fields filled in using the GPS co-ordinates?
When you enter GPS coordinates, Lightroom looks up that information and should fill it in—at least the City, State, and Country fields.
