I have imported photographs with geotags into a newly created LR catalogue. The development settings are displayed, but the geo-coordinates are not. In" Bridge" the geo-coordinates are also displayed. (but in a different geotag format). What is the reason for this?Importing geodata?

 

Geodaten importieren?

In einen neu angelgten LR Katalog habe ich Fotos mit Geotags importiert. Die Entwicklungseinstellungen werden angezeigt, die Geokoordinaten jedoch nicht. In Bridge werden die Geokoordinaten auch angezigt. ( diese jedoch ein einem anderen Geotag Frormat). Woran liegt das?

What happens if you right click on a photo and choose 'Read Metadata from File'.. ? Lightroom should read geo tags. It also definitely reads tracklogs in Map as well.

    Since Read Metadata From File is reading the GPS coordinates, that indicates you likely have a metadata import preset that's clearing the coordinates.  Quickly test that by setting Apply During Import > Metadata to None and importing a few test photos:

     

    If they import with GPS coordinates, then edit the metadata preset and uncheck the GPS checkbox.
