Hello,
When I transfer my photos to a Windows computer from my iPhone SE, the location where they were taken does not appear. I would appreciate being able to find the location of the shots. Thank you.

    Hello,

    if the location of the photos does not appear on the iPhone:

    Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Camera

    If it's only on the PC, it means that the application used to view the photos does not fully read the Exif data.

      Hello Alex, thank you so much for your response, but is there a solution? Should I install another software? I've been keeping all my travel photos on my iPhone for months in order to caption them, but if there is another solution, I appreciate your help.
      I use the Windows Live Photo Gallery.
      Thanks again for your contribution.

        re,
        not using a PC I cannot provide assistance; one should use an app that can read location data.
        Other details that may be important: in order not to corrupt the EXIF data, it is always preferable to make edits on a copy of the photo.

      Hello and thank you, Alex.
      I will continue to search, especially since someone gave me the software that could be used.
      Thanks again and have a nice day.
      I will keep you updated on the results of my research.
      Best regards.

    Hello,

    The problem is mainly about interpreting geolocation data. This data appears in the form of latitude + longitude coordinates.
    There needs to be a program that really locates on a map the place where the photo was taken or that provides the name of the location.
    To my knowledge, there are two that do this:
    - Google Photos app (which means you'll have to export the photos to Google's servers)
    - That good old Picasa still downloadable from this forum:
    https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/photo-graphisme/17729-picasa/

    In any case, we are still with Google.

    There may be other applications that do the same thing, but I am not aware of them.

    Best regards
