I have recently started to use ExifTool for macOS, and have learned how to edit the datetimeoriginal exif information.
However, I have many images that I would now like to enter GPS latitude & longitude information for, and then upload to Google Photos. I would be grateful if someone could advise me on the commands necessary. For information, I know how to obtain latitude & longitude information from Google Maps. Thank you in advance.
Exiftool -gpslatitude=12.34 -gpslatituderef=N -gpslongitude=56.78 -gpslongituderef=W
The Ref tags are very important if the coords are negative (N S or W).
Thank you for the reply and instructions. I notice the example you gave me include very short latitude and longitude values. Mine are longer - is this OK? Please see below:
53.319629, -0.666803
Also, I don't know if the coordinates are negative or not - how can I tell? Thank you again :)
I think that FAQ 14 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q14) will answer all of your questions.

Many thanks Phil.
