Location...

If you are a Windows user, may have a look to Geosetter.
(Geosetter adds IPTC Keywords based on your localization, and more).

To your Piwigo installation, install and activate [extension by rvelices] RV Maps & Earth
(RV Maps & Earth adds GPS localization to the Picture table).
Synchronize your Picture with RV Maps & Earth.

Synchronize (standard) your Metadata (if not already done).
Piwigo will get all localization information set by Geosetter including Location and add it to your tags.

Now have a look to the resulting changes.

A "Tour de France 2009" geotagged picture (Standard view)

Access by the "Joinville Le Pont" tag (Standard view)

Somewhere else on a Map (RV Maps display)

Enjoy.

Hi thanks so much for the info.

I actually already tried the maps plugin but unfortunately I got a weird scrolling issue with the yoga/sylvia theme. In any case even if it had looked ok for me I would like to be able to input a location value such as 'coastal maine botanical gardens'.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

ITPC keywords might be the best solution.

Anyway by Geosetter, you can override the location by your text.
And you can get it by IPTC keywords ---> Piwigo synchronization process ---> Piwigo tags


Use [extension by Piwigo Team] LocalFiles Editor to code advanced configuration as
$conf['use_iptc'] = true;
$conf['use_iptc_mapping'] = array(
  'keywords'        => '2#025',
  'author'          => '2#122',
  'name'            => '2#005',
  'comment'         => '2#120'
  );

To collect IPTC keywords during the synchro process.

Before I try to understand this solution is there an IPTC keyword modifier for a mac user?
