Description james 2012-05-11 17:33:53 UTC 
This comment indicates that the proper way of adding a bookmark is to right click on a photo that has already been assigned a location:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288113#c3

This is a bit unintuitive. Case in point: the only way I could find out how to do it is by googling for my problem and finding that comment in the bug tracker.

The user should be able to bookmark any location on the map, independent of whether a photo has been geolocated there.

Reproducible: Always

I am also having problems recalling assigned bookmarks.  
For example: 
1- open Geolocation Editor with a single photo that includes coordinates from iPhone.  
2- right click on photo and go to Bookmarks,  
3- Assign name to the bookmark.  Add Bookmark name e.g. "Lighthouse" and click Okay and it is visible salon gas the Geolocation Editor is not closed.
4- Close Geolocation Editor
5- Open Geolocation Editor with a new photo with no Coordinates from SLR camera. 
6- right click on phone and go to Bookmarks, 
No bookmarks are present.

Note that I am able to use the bookmark copy and paste functions successfully.

I forgot to note that my previous comment was on MacOS Mojave.

The bookmark manager works here under Linux or Windows without problems. Interressant would be the output of digiKam in the console. There would be this entry to find "Loading GPS bookmarks from" or "Saving GPS bookmarks to". See if the file exists, delete it if necessary and have it recreated by digiKam.

James,

Which digiKam version do you use exactly ?

All bundles for 6.2.0 pre-release are under process to be updated at usual place :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Please test and report with this release. Also look about last comments from Maik on this file...

I just tried 6.2 pre release (Jul 25 2019) on Mac Mojave using the packages.   Bookmarks are now working as expected for me.  Thanks for fixing
