Hello- I inadvertantly forgot to turn on sync my phone to my Canon camera and did not record my GPS data. I want to add Google Earth coordinates while in bridge but from what I've read the Bridge program is "stupid' in the words of some and does not acept the format of the coordinates from Google Earth. I've looked all over and tried different equasions to convert to something Bridge wuld use but nothing works. Does anyone have a way for my to use the Earth coordinaes and convert them for use in Bridge.? When I entered this- 24.55064N 81.80088W I recieved the error below. As I mentioned I tried all different equasions, nothing worked.

 

Thank you-

Gary Fern

    I don't have an answer, but this topic interested me, as I've been playing catchup keywording my old photos in LR, and just, tonight, I came across a photo of a coyote, in a field. However when I clicked on the GPS map, the location came up in the middle of a housing tract. I wanted to go to Google maps to confirm that something wasn't wrong, but it wouldn't accept my coordinates. Then I went to Bridge and noticed that the coordinates were different. I couldn't get those to work either. I suppose the map in LR was correct and that maybe a housing tract has been built since I shot the photo.

    Not a direct answer... The following Photoshop script works one file at a time for manual paste into Bridge, but the file has to contain EXIF GPS metadata to begin with:
