Windows Explorer - Details view - column for geolocation - Latitude and Longitude

Question

Windows can read these metadata but omits them from the choice of columns:

_{(note the blank Location column in the background of this screenshot)}

Am I missing it, or must it be hacked?

At least, how might I query and sort my files on this attribute?

Thanks

I knew I'd ansewred this somewhere before! enter link description here

Here is updated code that adds Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude as available columns for folders using the Pictures template. Copy & paste into a PowerShell window:

$HKLM_FT  = 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes'
$HKCU_FT  = 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes'
$PicTV    = "{b3690e58-e961-423b-b687-386ebfd83239}\TopViews\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}"
$CustomTV = Join-Path $HKCU_FT $PicTV

New-Item -Path $CustomTV -Force | Out-Null

$SPlat = @{
   'Path'        = Join-Path $HKLM_FT $PicTV
   'Destination' = Split-Path $CustomTV
}
Copy-Item @Splat -force

$Find    = '1System.DateCreated'
$Replace = '1System.GPS.Latitude;1System.GPS.Longitude;1System.GPS.Altitude;1System.DateCreated'

$Splat =@{
   'Path' = $CustomTV
   'Name' = 'ColumnList'
}
$ColumnList = (Get-ItemPropertyValue @Splat).Replace($Find, $Replace)

Set-ItemProperty @Splat -Value $ColumnList

get-process explorer | stop-process

Update: For those that prefer a .reg file option...
