Question

How to Accept Suggested Locations in Map Module

I recently use the iPhone GeoTag2 app to track my location while on a trip to Europe and when I returned home, used the resulting GPX file to map my location data to photos that I took with my camera and uploaded into LrC.  The process worked well.   LrC displays the mapped geolocation data in italics and in articles (see attached file for example). 
 
The issue: apparently LrC considers the italicized data as "suggestions",  and does not commit the descriptions to the file. The rationale is that GPS data is not 100% accurate.  To commit the data, best I can tell you have to review each field and commit or change it then commit it, one at a time. The methods I have read to do this do not work with my current version of LrC (11.4). I do not see the drop down menus references in these articles so can not commit any of the data.
 
Has anyone else experienced this problem or know of a workaround?   I just want to accept the location data that is mapped to each photo.  I know it will not be perfect, but it will be good enough for my purposes.  Tx

Try the Lightroom Classic plugin from John R Ellis named AnyTag. It has the ability to commit locations in bulk, rather than one at a time.
