Viewing Shooting Locations
Choosing map view () when a folder containing pictures with embedded location data is selected displays the map. Shooting locations are shown by map pins (
or
).
Starting View
The starting view varies with the picture selected and the number of pictures with location data in the current folder. Display options are available via [Map] > [Shooting Location] in the [Options] dialog (0 [Map]).
The filmstrip can be displayed using the filmstrip () button in the view area. Pictures with embedded location data are indicated by
icons (
). Selecting a picture centers the map on the pin (
) showing its location (
).
- Shooting locations for pictures not in the current selection are shown in yellow (
). Clicking a yellow pin (
) selects the picture and turns the pin red (
).
- Multiple pins can be selected by pressing the control (or in macOS, command) key and clicking each pin in turn.
- The map can be scrolled using drag.
- Pictures taken in the same location are shown by a single pin (
). At some scales, pictures taken in different locations but in close proximity may also be displayed as a single pin (
).
Viewing Metadata
Clicking a pin () on the map displays a pop-up listing metadata for the selected picture.
- The pop-up contains a [Photo] tab giving the file name and showing the picture as a thumbnail. In the case of videos, the thumbnail shows the clip’s first frame.
- The camera name, date of recording, and other metadata for the picture are listed in a [Metadata] tab. Compass headings, points of interest, and other added data are also listed if available.
- Where multiple pictures recorded in the same location or in close proximity are shown by a single pin (
), you can page through the images by clicking
or
.
- The pop-up can be closed by clicking the map or by clicking the
button at the top right corner of the pop-up.
