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
  • Your photos are grouped on fixed places of the map. Each pin shows one of their pictures and exactly how many there are. Zoom in and the places get smaller, so the pins split.
  • The first time, the map frames every photo it found; after that it opens where you left it, in the same browser. The line next to the title says how many have a place.
  • As you move or zoom, the map asks your index once for the area on screen. A small move shows the same pins with the same counts.
  • A photo you delete while the map is open leaves its pin at once.
  • 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 where, with every one of their pictures, more of them loading as you scroll. 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 asks again for the photos of the area on screen.

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