The Map screen

Every photo with a place, grouped into picture pins, following your search and filters.

Map shows the photos that carry a place, as picture pins on OpenStreetMap. It follows what you typed and the filters you have on, so a search for beach maps only the beach photos.

01 · The pins
  • Photos close together on screen share one pin, showing one of their pictures and how many there are. Zoom in and the pins split.
  • On opening, the map frames every photo it found. The line next to the title says how many have a place.
  • As you move or zoom, the photos of the area on screen are loaded again, so the pins fill the part of the world you are looking at.
  • When nothing has a place, the map says so: none of your photos carries a GPS position yet, or none that matches this search.
02 · Opening the photos of a pin

Click a pin. A sheet says how many photos are there and the commonest city and country, with their pictures. Click a picture to open it in the viewer, walking only through the photos of that pin.

03 · The buttons
  • Search this area turns what is on screen into a distance filter around its middle and goes back to the photo grid. Change the distance or take it off in Filters.
  • Reload loads the photos again and frames them all.

Show on map, under a photo in the viewer, opens this screen zoomed in on that photo's spot.
