When you capture the moment, capture your location too. Adding a photo's location helps you keep track of your adventures and you just might inspire someone else's travels!
Geo Preferences
When you upload a photo with geodata (i.e. from a mobile device) or manually geotag your photo, the photo's location can be shown on a map. Set your geo privacy to decide who can see the location of your photos by default.
Please note: If you upload a photo with geodata, that info will be embedded in the EXIF data of the original image file. If you don’t want people to have access to this information, you should restrict who can download your originals.
To set your Geo Preferences please see the steps below:
- Head to your account settings.
- Click on Privacy & Permissions.
- Under Defaults for new uploads you will see the settings ‘Who will be able to see your stuff on a map’ - click edit.
From here, you can determine who sees your photos on your map and set up geofences.
A geofence, is a hotspot on a map that has special default geo privacy settings. These are useful for locations such as "home" or "school" that you would like to make more private than your global default. You can create up to 10 geofences.
Once you have your preferences set, you can add your photos to the map by following the steps below:
Update the location of a single photo
- Click on one of your photos to open it.
- Below the photo, click Add this photo to your map.
- Enter the photo's location in the 'Find a location' field.
- Drag the photo from the bottom onto the map.
Update the location of multiple photos at once
- Hover over You, and select Organize.
- Click the Map tab.
- Enter the photo's location in the 'Find a location' field.
- Drag the photos from the bottom onto the map.
