Windows also has a program called "Photos" but I don't see a way to use the GPS metadata within that program.
Windows File Explorer can show you properties of the image file and the details tab will show you the GPS data if it is there, but there is no link to automatically use those data.

Yes, I'm using a Mac.

Check Nikons NX editing software

Regarding geotagged images, I am using a Mac but I doubt that geotagging is Mac-specific. The program I use is Adobe Lightroom and it is the program that plots the geo coordinates of the photos onto a map. For years, I used a couple Sony A55 cameras that recorded GPS data along with other camera data for each photo. Lightroom can also use data from my Apple cellphone and I may be using that more in the future given that I am now using a Sony A6600 camera that does not record GPS data. I am assuming that I will take a phone picture in the same area as other photos and use those data to assign the location to the maps in Lightroom.

I wish all cameras had GPS built in but that seems not to be the trend.

I use Geotag Photos 2 on my iPhone. Before importing into LrC, I add the tag information to the images (a very simple intermediate step). Then LrC has a function that will show the location of any image containing geotag information.

GPS is a battery hog. Like you, I use my iPhone if I need location info

Take a look at the "Geotag Photos" app for your smartphone. You only have to make sure that the time on your camera is the same as on your smartphone, and you don't have to take photos with your phone. You also have to get the Geotag Photos App for your computer. Works great for me.

in Windows Explorer right-click an entry. <open with> <photos> right click on photo <file information> will bring up a map with that photo's location. Clicking on the map will zoom in.

I have Windows 10 as well. If you open a photo in Photos, then go to the three dots (...) in the upper right corner. Clicking on it gives a drop-down menu. Choose "File info" and a side window will open that includes a map showing where the picture was taken (assuming GPS data was recorded to the photo, of course).

Thanks, that worked.

You are welcome.

On my PC sometimes <open map> gets flaky showing map from a recently viewed photos.

Thank you. I believe the software available is not camera dependent as long as the location coordinates are included in the image information. Perhaps a Google Map feature?

There are add-on devices for many cameras to add GPS coordinates. Or, in LRC, you can drag photos onto a map to add GPS info.

not all cameras accept an add on GPS .....many of the new cameras only take smartphone Geotaging
