This can be done by taking your pictures with a camera that has GPS capabilities or by taking a GPS receiver along with you, synchronizing the time-stamps of your photos with your GPS log, then inserting the GPS information into the photo's EXIF data (<a href='http://form.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?p=234493&sid=d2cd512184a6eb3cd771ee318571f56d#p234493'>more information on this technique</a>).

Clicking this will bring up a marker and a balloon that can be moved around the same way a single photo is edited. Once you have positioned your photo and set the altitude/precision, click the 'batch tag' tab. Here you will see a checkbox for overwrite, which indicates if you want all the photos in the gallery to be replaced with the batch tag data... <a href="https://pbase.com/help/maps&id=616"><span class="small">(more)</span></a> </dd> </DIV> <br> <a name="617" /> <DIV class=""> <dt> <div class="toptitle"> <a href="https://pbase.com/help/maps&id=617"> What is the 'View user' button? </a> </div> </dt> <dd> In the text field to the left of this button type the name of some PBase artist you know and click this button to see all of the photos that artist has geotagged. </dd> </DIV> <br> <a name="620" /> <DIV class=""> <dt> <div class="toptitle"> <a href="https://pbase.com/help/maps&id=620"> Why do I not see the 'Geotag your photos' and 'View your photos' buttons? </a> </div> </dt> <dd> You must be logged in to see these buttons. </dd> </DIV> <br> <a name="622" /> <DIV class=""> <dt> <div class="toptitle"> <a href="https://pbase.com/help/maps&id=622"> Can other people view my geotagged photos? </a> </div> </dt> <dd> Yes, this is the whole point of PBase Maps. Your Maps page can be viewed by anyone at maps.pbase.com/user where user is your login. If your login is 'slug' your Maps page would be maps.pbase.com/slug. Furthermore, there is a map link at the top right of any gallery that has any geotagged images.
