I'm new to digiKam, and I was wondering if there is some easy way to assign Geo Tags to photos using street addresses. I looked through the documentation, and I see where you can assign by latitude/longitude, or by searching for places of interest, but I don't seem to be able to search by street address. It looks like I can zoom into the map and find the location, but this can be a bit tedious when you have a lot of different locations to find.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

P.S. - Not related to digiKam, but does anyone know a way to automatically get geo tags added to a photo file if your camera does not support it? As far as I know, my Nikon D7000 doesn't have GPS capability, but it would be way easier to have it tag the photos as I take them.

Thanks!

Select a photo or photos
Go to Item | Edit Geolocation
Top right corner there is a search box, addresses worked for me.

There a number of SD cards on the market which will geotag photos as you take them that will work with any camera.

That does not work for me. See the attached screenshots. When I search by address, nothing shows up in the box when I click the search button. But, if I search for the name of a place, it works (see screenshot).

I'm running DigiKam 7.3, and, if it matters at all, when I try to use Google Maps, it comes up with an error that "This page cannot load Google Maps correctly," so I switched to Marble Virtual Globe. I get the same result with either.

Does anyone have anything else I can try to fix this?

I thought I would bump this topic again since I am once again trying to get DigiKam to work for me, but this has been one feature I just can't get to work. I am now upgraded to DigiKam 7.7.0, but still hitting the same issue. I can't search GeoLocation by address and assign it to a photo. If I search for landmarks, that works, but addresses don't.

Can anyone clue me in to what I'm doing wrong here?
I would also like to be able to save locations that I use frequently and assign them to new photos. Is there a way to do that?
