When your camera doesn't geo tag images, and you want the photos geo tagged for future reference.  What is the easiest way to geo tag photos manually and accurately?

I do mine in LightRoom using the map module.   easy peasy lemon squeezy.  Another brilliant, powerful and best of all... FREE tool that can be used is ExifTool.    I believe there is a GUI version for Windows.

I use the MyTracks app on my phone, and record my location while I'm shooting. I try to remember to sync the time on the camera to the phone.

Afterwards, I load my photos into LR. Then I move the track file to (via Google Drive, usually) to my desktop, copy it to the LR folder where my files are, and read the log into LR in the map module. Then I auto-tag my photos.
