Other cameras may need additional GPS hardware to do this. Even if your camera doesn't support this feature, there is an alternative method -- darktable can match the Exif date/time in your image(s) to a separate GPX data tracking file created by a GPS tracker, that has recorded your movements. GPS trackers can be purchased as standalone handheld devices or you can install a GPS tracker app on your smartphone. Location tagging with GPS tracking data can be done using the [geotagging](../module-reference/utility-modules/shared/geotagging.md) module, in the lighttable and map views. -# center map view - -In the center of the map view you will see a world map. +In addition, you can assign geo coordinates to an image, by activating the [filmstrip](../module-reference/utility-modules/shared/filmstrip.md) on the lower panel (press Ctrl+F)and dragging the image icon from the film-strip to a position on the map.
