(Archived) Feature Request: Geotagging copy & paste

[tjenness 0]

I've got lots of receipts that I've scanned but of course the geotags are all wrong. Many of these receipts come from the same location so I really would like the ability to copy a location from one note and paste the location into a bunch of other notes that have all been selected at once. Google Picasa can do this for images using a right click contextual menu.

It seems unreasonable to me to have to copy the same longitude and latitude to multiple notes one number at a time.

As an aside, the new Google labs "drop latlong marker" is a great way of getting the initial longitude and latitude into a scanned note.

I completely agree.

I have said for a long time that Evernote needs to improve the Location feature, especially on the desktop.

Having access to the lat/long is good, but viewing the location on a map and easily adding locations to notes are the most important things.

I completely agree. Having an iPhoto-like geotagging feature would be fantastic. All of my iPhone-created notes are geotagged, but I'd really like to be able to manually do notes I create on my mac.

Speaking of which, it would also be incredibly neat if Evernote for Mac were clever enough to do a certain amount of geotagging on its own. Somehow the Twitter *webpage* is able to fairly well determine my location (I have no idea how that works -- network location reverse lookup?), and having that same thing in Evernote would be really neat.

I am not sure if Twitter uses IP lookup or HTML5 Geolocation (or both).

Evernote could use these as well, actually (I would imagine). The accuracy would be less than perfect of course (your Mac doesn't have a GPS built in), but it would still be helpful to have some mapping function.

I realise that there are many ways for very clever geotagging via integrated maps and IP address resolution (skyhook et al) but I'm really hoping that a simple copy & paste functionality could be added to the Mac client very easily and solve 90% of my difficulties. Copy 3 numbers into the paste buffer (with some magic annotation to indicate a geotag), paste 3 numbers into each selected receipt and done.
