geotagging and Places in Photos in iOS?(!)
i'm having an issue in my iPhone with the current OS where i can't SEARCH for "Places" the way i expect i should.
meaning there is a "Places" term in the search bar on my phone. but when i enter something like Seattle or somewhere else i expect to see photo i don't get any results.
or rather i should say i think i get results that appear to be all "text based" in the sense they appear to be images - maybe?! - with the word Seattle in them. so it seems like my phone is searching my images for actual text but not actual GPS data from when the photo was taken.
but i could be totally wrong since i don't understand this topic well, it is a complicated topic and also my images are not well organized.
basically i have a PHOTOS database and also an APERTURE database still on my desktop machine. but i am trying.
era ti have noticed is that my iPhone will show FOUR MAP ICONS with four pieces i recently visited it that i have a lot of photos in it i don't know what because it doesn't show the TOWN I LiVE IN.
anyway it shows these four icons and i CAN click on one of these four icons and get images that were taken in these geographic area.
so as you can tell it's confusing. i get four preset icons that will show photos with GPS presumably. but if i search for a place i get results that doesn't appear to be GPS based.
anyway i am design this article on GEOTAGGING and i am wondering if anyone can explain what it is saying. i'd like to optimize my Aperture database. can i use this sticker to do so?
does this article touch on issues important o the topic above in Photos?
last three pages of the article are at the end and i will link to it for convenience.
THANKS for any help. i'm trying to learn about this topic!

I was out for most of the weekend so I'm just now getting caught up. jonyotten, we welcome your participation and questions here, but posting multiple threads that ask essentially the same thing is not ok and I will not allow further threads on this topic. You are already directly ignoring the advice and careful explanations from people in your other threads, hammering the same questions over and over again and passing over direct answers. I get that you are flummoxed by how geotagging and metadata works in photos. It is genuinely complicated! We're here to help—Read carefully what people have posted and ask coherent follow up questions to the points you don't understand.

Also, Aperture is a long-discontinued product that is not supported on modern Macs. The number of people still using it is vanishingly small and you're going to have a difficult time getting answers specific to its function.
