Remove locations
If you have assigned a location to a photo or group of photos by mistake, you can remove it.
Remove location information from a photo or group of photos
1 Do one of the following:
•
To remove a location assignment from all photos associated with a location: In Places view, select
the location pin.
•
To remove a location assignment from a subset of photos associated with a location: In the
Browser, select the photos whose location information you want to remove.
2 In Places view, choose Remove Locations from the Places Action pop-up menu .
If you selected a location pin, the location is removed from all photos associated with the
pin. If you selected photos in the Browser, the location information is removed from the
selected photos.
You can also remove location information from photos using the Map pane of the Info inspector.

Work with location information using the Info inspector on page 146.
Import and work with GPS Track file data
To begin working with a GPS track file in Places view, you must first import the GPS track file
into Aperture.
GPS track points are digital bread crumbs that are used to define a path or route (“track”) using
precise coordinates saved by a GPS device or GPS tracking iPhone app. If you have a GPS-
enabled camera or iOS device or another GPS device that you use to create track files and save
waypoints, you can import the track files into Aperture and work with them in Places view.
Each leg and waypoint (digital bread crumb) is displayed in Places view, and you can assign
the legs and waypoints to photos. Photos taken with a GPS-enabled camera or iOS device are
automatically assigned locations corresponding to waypoints in the track file.
Import a GPS track file
1 In the Library inspector, select the project into which you want to import the track file, then click
the Places button in the toolbar.
2 In Places view, choose Import GPS Track from the GPS pop-up menu.
3 In the dialog that appears, navigate to the location of the GPS track file, select it, then click
Choose Track File.
The track file is imported into the selected project. The track file appears as a purple line on the
map in Places view.
Create a new location based on a waypoint in a GPS track file
After you have imported the GPS track file into your Aperture project, you can begin working
with the GPS track data to create new locations, assign locations to photos, and move
location pins.
1 In the Library inspector, select a project with an imported GPS track file.
2 In the Browser, select a photo and drag it to a waypoint in Places view.
A small dialog appears at the bottom of Places view asking if you would like to assign location
information to other photos in the project based on time.
