Is there a way to show the tracks on BaseCamp only for one you select? I can see as I add more tracks that my map is going to get messy if they are all displayed at the same time especially since they will almost always begin and end at my house.
Is the freeware program GeoSetter the one you are talking about? Will it recognise Canon raw files? I just tried using BaseCamp to Geotag a few photos from last weekend and apparently it doesn't recognise Canon CR2 raw files.
The advantage of Geosetter is that you can put all of your tracks into one folder, select just the images you want to geotag and then point the program to the folder containing your tracks - no need to select individual tracks. Even images taken over a period of months will be tagged as long as the corresponding track is in the folder.
Yes, that is the one. I use it to tag Olympus raw files, it does recognise Canon .cr2 and .crw files. Geotagging is the first thing that I do before editing any raw file, even changing the name.
Maybe there is something wrong with the way I'm uploading my files. I saved one of my pictures as jpeg but BaseCamp still does not recognize it. When I upload them and look at them in Windows Explorer there is only a "modified date" but no "Date Taken" in that field. I wonder if that is why BaseCamp says there are no photos that can be tagged?

Sounds like you are on to something, but, a couple of questions:
1. Which version of Windows.
2. When you say "modified date" in Windows Explorer are you referring to what one sees in the general files view or are you looking in the Properties:Detailed view after selecting a specific picture file?
3. How are you transferring the files from the camera or camera card to your Windows machine? If you are using a program which one?
Thanks for the reply! I started another thread just for this topic and found the answer, which is that BaseCamp's Geotag doesn't work on raw files. It appears that Windows Explorer doesn't read the exif on raw files either. The modified date is the one in the normal view, same as the date picture taken which only shows up with jpeg files that retain the exif.
