To add location metadata to a batch of photos, marry them together with a GPS track log. The time the picture was taken is matched with the place on the GPS track at the same time (It is important that your camera's clock was syncronised with your GPS receiver's time)

The Geotag tag is used to define the GPS track log data. The geotagging feature is activated by assigning the name of a track log file to this tag. As an example, the following command line adds GPS tags to all images in the "/Users/Phil/Pictures" directory based on GPS positions stored in the track log file "track.log" in the current directory:
exiftool -geotag=track.log /Users/Phil/Pictures
Geotag all images in the "c:\images" directory from position information in a GPS track log ("c:\gps logs\track.log"). Since the
Geotimetime is not specified, the value ofDateTimeOriginal#is used. Local system time is assumed unlessDateTimeOriginal#contains a timezone:
exiftool -geotag "c:\gps logs\track.log" c:\images
In the command prompt, enter the following:
exiftool -geotag "C:\Users\Pinocchio\Documents\Tim\Website\Hampi\history-2017-11-16.kml" C:\Users\Pinocchio\Documents\Tim\Website\Hampi\ToGeotag
