PhotoLocator can import GPS traces from GPX and KML files and then apply the GPS positions to picture files by synchronizing with the photo timestamps. GPS tags can also be imported from other already geotagged photos. The locations can either be set automatically based on timestamps or manually by copy/pasting from other files or selecting on the map. PhotoLocator can perfom a lossless update of the EXIF data in the target files directly or in copies of the files.
If you need to save geotags to other than JPEG files you need to download ExifTool (https://exiftool.org/) and setup the path to it in the Settings dialog.
KML files can be obtained directly from the Google maps location history. GPX files can be exported by many location and sports tracking apps.
PhotoLocator can also preview JPEG, raw and video files and you can delete unwanted files. Note that to be able to preview some raw image formats you need to install the Raw Image Extension from the Microsoft Store.
Selected files can be automatically renamed based on timestamp, dimensions and other metadata tags.
There is also a full screen slideshow feature with a small location map display. The slideshow can also play video files. You can drag/drop in files and folders to do a slideshow across multiple folders.
Note that it is possible to use Chrome's full screen cast feature to display the slideshow on a TV with Chromecast.
JPG images can be cropped and rotated without transcoding loss

If PhotoLocator cannot start, you need to install the .NET 6 Desktop Runtime.

You can make ExifTool ignore minor errors by renaming it to exiftool(-m).exe and updating the path under Settings accordingly.
I have been using GeoSetter for many years but it has not been maintained for a long time and then it completely stopped working for me. Since I was unable to find a suitable replacement I decided to make a new geotagging application and make it open source.
