Just found a set of crosshairs you can download for Google Earth--it's written on Craig Stanton's website. Much easier!

Sounds a bit basic, but I can't find any other way.

If you're using Geotagger download a crosshair to help mark the correct spot; there's a screen capture of it in action here, under manual geo-locating.

To improve the accuracy of using Google Earth, what I did was use the mouse cursor to the exact location on the map I want to have the photos tagged, then while remembering the co-ordinates in my head--don't worry, it's only the decimals that you'll need to remember) move the mouse cursor away from the Google Earth window and then use the cursor keys to match the same co-ordinates I have in my head.

Could involve a lot of work Kevin! At least you can select multiple pics in iPhoto and drag them onto Geotagger. I figure the easiest way to batch-tag a lot of images would be to select (say) all the pics from China with Google Earth centred on a search for "Beijing, China". Do this for each country capital (or city) you have taken pictures in.

Very cool tip. Maybe one day I'll get around to geotagging my photos. Thanks.
