A geotagging tip for iPhoto

I one of my articles about using PhotoLinker and i-Got-U GPS, I had kind of a cumbersome method for geotagging the photos. Well, today I discovered an option in iPhoto “Rescan for Location”. So now my process is as follows:

1. Import GPS tracks using igotu2gpx.
2. Drop gpx file on PhotoLinker.
3. Import photos into iPhoto.
4. Drag photos from iPhoto to PhotoLinker.
5. Geotag photos in PhotoLinker.
6. Select photos in iPhoto, control click and select “Rescan for Location”.

This is huge for me as I don’t have to import the photos into the Finder, then into PhotoLinker and then import into iPhoto. My camera doesn’t show up as a Mass Storage device, so I had to take out my SD card and place it in a reader. With this new method, that isn’t required.
