It's finally time to move on from the Develop module, and our first stop is Maps.

Maps are an incredibly useful (and fun!) way to organize and view your photos. Some photos show up on maps automatically (i.e. your smartphone shots) while some need to be added by hand. In this video we look at…

• Different map views, how to navigate the map and understanding the map legend
• Finding your smartphone photos on the map
• Adding your own photos to the map by…
  • Dropping on in a general area
  • Searching by place name for precise locations
  • Using Google Maps in a browser to find addresses and GPS coordinates that don't show up in Lightroom
• Move photos that are on the wrong place on the map
• Use a GPS logger such as GeoTagr to create GPX files and use those to put photos on the map
• Building Smart Collections to quickly locate photos lacking GPS data
