Google has managed to forge, thanks to its applications and services, a powerful ecosystem With the same Google account, you can check your email e-mail, plan your next vacation, listen to your favorite music or keep your memories safely. Perhaps one of the strongest points of this conglomerate of services is their ability to collaborate with each other.
One of these most interesting collaborations is the one established between Google Maps and Google Photos.You probably know that most of the photos you take with your mobile phone have a label associated with them that allows you to know the exact place where they were taken. Until now, such information was available in Google Photos in a very limited way. However, it is now possible to view it also using the Google Maps integration in the photos application.
How to see where a photo was taken in Google Photos
Before moving on to integrating Maps into Google Photos, it's important to know how to view the location of your individual photos First, make sure you have the latest version of Google Photos installed on your device. Thus, it will be much easier for you to follow the steps that we provide in this guide. To see the geolocation of any photo in Google Photos, do this:
- Select any photo in your library.
- When you're on the view screen, swipe up. This will open the information section of the image file.
- Under the section Location you will see a small map and, on it, the place where the photograph was taken will be marked.
- If you want to enlarge the map, click on it or use the link Open in Maps.
If the map does not appear in this section, this may be due to various reasons. For example, perhaps the selected photo was taken from a camera without a GPS connection. On the other hand, it's possible that your mobile device has location services turned off or the camera app doesn't have this setting enabled. Finally, if the image comes from an external source, such as Facebook or Instagram, it is unlikely that the file will have this information.
How to see a complete map of your photos
Once we have explained how to see the location of each of your photos, it is time to learn how to do it by taking advantage of the integration of Google Maps in Google Photos. This new feature uses two key data to create a map with your photos: the geolocation tag of each file and Google location history
To access your personal map in Google Photos, follow these steps:
- Tap on the Search section in the bottom navigation bar.
- Next, click on Your map.
- Navigate the map to know the location of your photos. At the bottom are the photos taken at the selected location and the days they were taken.
If, after taking these steps, you cannot access the Your map section, check that you have version 5.23 of Google Photos installed. Otherwise, the method we explain in this article will not work.
To get even more out of this feature, you need to have location history turned on. Thanks to it, Google can trace the route you followed when taking your photos and the information displayed will be much richer in detail. Without a doubt, this feature is perfect to remember your trips or excursions. If you previously disabled this feature, you must visit the My Account page to enable it again.
