I've read somewhere that Google history does not include WHEN tags anymore in KML file? Is that why both GPSBabel and KML2GPX fail? But when I tried to auto-tag it to the photos from that day, Lightroom said "No matching files". So I tried online converter and it produced GPX file that I loaded in Lightroom. GPSBabel gives error, saying "kml: There were more gx:coord elements than the number of when elements" Tried to convert it using GPSBabel, using Google Earth (Keyhole) Markup Language as Input and GPX XML as output. Checked that it did keep extensive record of our travel by car, subway and on foot. KML file from Google location history of our Sunday's trip to NYC. Sorry for resurrecting the old thread, but this method does not work for me.
Sadly, I couldn't go further since my phone didn't track beyond that. I was able to auto geotag 2yrs of vacation photos. Select photos you want to tag and choose auto-tag.Open Lightroom, Maps, Load track log using the GPX file.Once you have the location history logs (KML format) it needs to be converted to GPX format so Lightroom can recognize.Go to, under personal info & privacy go to "control your content", create archive, select location history, select format KML. If you need longer or all logs then google take out feature is required. For under 30 days of logs go to & export to KML.For iOS I believe you need to also have google search app installed. I think this is default if you are using android phone. Allow google to track your location history.For me, my android phone conveniently has all my location history as I carry it everywhere. You can use almost any device that gives gps logs. How it works? Lightroom has the ability to match Exif dates to GPS track logs and apply it to photos. I'm sure someone has posted something about it already, but just sharing my experience in case it is useful. It's awesome for camera that doesn't have GPS ability. Just figured out how to geotag photos in lightroom using my phone's location history.
