A way to manually input the location for a note?

[andym2 0]

Hello

I'm trying to work out how to manually input a location (I'm doing some travel planning and I want to use the atlas facility to see notes about the places I'm going to).

I've tried inputting the gps coordinates in the format Evernote seems to use (eg 52°29′40N 0°3′35W) but when I press return the numbers simply go red and nothing happens. The only way it will accept a location is by pressing the location services arrow. Is there a way to input an address manually?

Thanks

(I'm using v5.04)

Hello,

I am using OSX 10.7.5 and Evernote 5.0.5 but actually have the same issue as Andym2.

In the Ipad of Iphone app, the map is displayed so I can drop the pin where I want to (but not enter a location).

On my mac desktop, no map comes up in the "i" section of a note, while entering a location gives no result.

Thanks for your support !

New to Evernote, downloaded today... No idea where Evernote is getting a location from... but it's not where my mac lap top is currently located so all my notes I've created today are wrong. Any idea how to change this on a Mac? I'm using OSX 10.7.5 and Evernote 5.4.5

Hi,

If you have an iPhone/iPad you could use IdeaPlaces for Evernote (disclosure: I'm the founder)

In IdeaPlaces we've build multiple way for you to enter and edit a place (since it's an app specialized in places...)

 

In IdeaPlaces you can

- add a map pin using a button or using a press and hold

- using a search by address or Foursquare place name.

- edit any note place using Foursquare, Google Address or manually moving the pin on the map.

- for every place you get all the nearby places too 

and many other features.

 

Check out the app on the AppStore: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id835446337?mt=8

After much searching I found this method works for me on Windows

 

Evernote - how to enter a location

• EVERNOTE - Go to INFO for the note
• EVERNOTE - Select Enter location
• Go to Google Maps and find the location
• Right click On Google Map to item "What's Here"
• Decimal location is noted --  IE  36.358003, -96.589375  Pawnee County, OK

I'm unable to change the location of a note that currently has no location. Evernote 5.5.4 on OSX 10.6.8

 

Can anyone help?

Hi Alice - I think you need to upgrade to a more recent version of OSX - although when I was using 10.6.8 I found that I could set the positions of notes using Evernote on my iPod, so if you have an iPod or tablet maybe you could try that.

We use native location handling (from OS X). They have definitely made location handling better in the more recent OS versions.

Hi

 

It seems like a long time since I started this thread.

 

I have now upgraded to OS 10.8 and the location works fine eg I've just created a note, clicked on the 'i' and typed in 'firenze' in the location box and the note shows up on the map in Firenze (Florence) - although I'm in London.

 

Reading this thread I'm wondering if there was an issue with both OS 10.6 and 10.7, which was fixed with 10.8.

Sorry but NO, I can't change the location... If I click on the 'i'  get the note info... it tells me where the computer thinks it is (it isn't there but I don't know how to change this on my computer) I can highlight the wrong location, and try to change it... however, whatever I change this into doesn't work... goes red. If you can tell me how to let my computer know where it is, or better still, tell me how to manually change the location I would appreciate it very much AS someone pointed out on a forum I read before it would be nice to be able to link the not to a specific place not necessarily where it was written. THanks

Location is determined by your computer at the time of note creation. You can change location in a note's information window (pushing the "i" in the top right)

If you would like to enter address for each note to have a geographic sense on travel plan, and you have iPhone,  the 3rd party APP GoLater should be the one you can consider.  GoLater shows notebook maps and trip maps from the notes that you have input "g:/address" geo tags in.

The latest app/OS versions will generally give you the best results. Good luck with the upgrade!

I've tried disabling location services, but that doesn't fix the problem. I guess it's time to stop putting off upgrading. Thanks for your help.

[Jackolicious 808]

Ah, there's the issue. Location services are wonky on Snow Leopard and may not work at all :/ 10.7 is the Apple OS that really started supporting it well. Sorry!

Hi

I'm using OS 10.6.8. I've tried both addresses and gps coordinates. I've been trying to input addresses in Italy (eg 'Pitigliano, Province of Grosseto, Italy' or 'Siena, Province of Siena' Italy) but it still doesn't seem to accept them.

It accepts addresses I've set on my iPod touch and then synced.

[Jackolicious 808]

Are you trying to type an address? We should take both addresses and geo coordinates. What OS are you running?
