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 the geographical position to your photos

on page 68

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.
