Question asked on Jan 9, 2016

Geotagging with Pro Photo Tools no longer works properly.  One is able to get the GPS coordinates, but not the corresponding Location Text (City, country).  

One gets the error : GPS ro Location: Could not establish a network connection to Windows Live Local

This error was reported in several posts back in 2008/2011, but none of the proposed answers solve the problem.

Does that mean that Pro Photo Tools is not supported anymore ?  Or that it needs some tweaking ?

It was a convenient and simple way of geotagging that has no equivalent in Photo Gallery (except possibly in a convoluted way with Live Local that I was not able to really use)
