How to Set a Geographic Location for a Picasa Photo Gallery
Picasa is Google's free photo imaging software. With Picasa, you can organize your photos into specific galleries centered around a particular event. When sharing your images with friends and family, it's helpful to display the geographic location on an attached map that shows where your photos were taken. Whether it's a destination wedding, honeymoon or spring break getaway, you'll always remember where the pictures took place.
