Viewing your photos on a map

Adding location information to photos is referred to as geotagging. You can view and tag

your photos on a map and show friends and family where you were when you took a

particular photo. See

Adding Geographical Positions To Your Photos

on page 104 for

more information.

If you have turned on location detection and activated geotagging in the camera, you can tag

your photos directly for map viewing at a later stage.
