Using Places
Knowing exactly where you took an image, or choosing a location and quickly seeing all the pho-
tos you made there can come in handy. Places uses the built-in GPS information that some cam-
eras offer to automatically plot where you took the images. But if your camera doesn't offer GPS
data, you can still take advantage of Places. You can use GPS data from an iPhone or other GPS
tracking device, or assign location information manually. In this section, we cover how to enable
Places, how to assign locations to images regardless of whether your camera has a GPS feature, as
well as how to search for images by location.
Enabling Places
By default, Aperture's Preferences are set to enable Places.
However, you must have Internet access
for Places to work.
