[Solved] Set GPS from Centre of GC’s Own Map

When a photo lacks a GPS value, it would be very convenient to:
- scroll around GraphicConverter's own map
- find an acceptable place
- use a command in the GPS menu that reads, "Set GPS from GC Map".
At the moment, this requires launching Google Earth and doing similar activities...

In the browser:
Just click hand hold around two seconds into the map and the location will be set as GPS value.

Many thanks - I did not know that one, and it is a very helpful feature.
Possibly worth adding as a menu item?
Best wishes,
Andrew

OK, but after selecting this option a dialog should be displayed telling the user to click in the Map at the right position, otherwise GC will not know which position to select as there is no cursor on the Map.

I’m not sure why that dialogue would be necessary. It certainly isn’t necessary when Google Earth is used for exactly the same task.
A check is already built into the Google Earth process: it asks, "Are you sure you want to overwrite the current GPS settings?"
That would seem enough?
