Map tab

You can show your viewers where you took your photos. Enter a location, and the program will automatically "geo-tag" the image and generate a map showing the location of your image.

How to use this feature

  • Select the thumbnail of the image you want to geo-tag
  • Enter either an address or coordinates for that image (Entering a location)
  • Choose the Zoom and View settings you want
  • Click the View map button to preview the map
  • Enter your Google Maps API key (About API key)

For more information, please select one of the options below:



Batch tagging images

You can either geo-tag each image one-by-one, or if you have several images with the same location information, just use multiple select (Ctrl or Shift modifier keys). Then you can add one location for several images at once.

Zoom setting

You can select Zoom levels from 1 (global view) to 17 (street view). You can easily test Zoom levels by selecting a level and then clicking the View map button to preview the map.

View setting

  • Map: illustrated view with map data and landmarks
  • Satellite: real-life view based on satellite and aerial images
  • Hybrid: superimposes map data and landmarks over satellite images
