Geotagging old scanned photos (not using Photos app)

Spending a lot of time organizing, tagging with Finder, and dating old scanned photographs. I’ve recently discovered a very useful process for geotagging old photos using a standalone app combined with GraphicConverter. The app is “GeoTag.” It appears solidly designed and provides an easy interface with Apple Maps to tag any photo. One can drag-and-drop a photo out of the GC browser into GeoTag, locate it using known info, place name, etc in the Maps panel, geotag it to the photo's EXIF file, and it appears as tagged immediately in GC. Then, after tagging several photos, the GC command “Find images near selected images” performs a filtering of all the nearby geotagged images directly in the GC browser.

A very quick and useful way to tag and group photos! I don’t know if there is an equivalent process using only GC, but the above is pretty painless and, at least so far, seems robust.

Any comments or other suggestions?
