Photo Map

Photo Map turns your photo and video library into an interactive world map that shows exactly where each item was taken, so you can relive trips and everyday moments with geographic context. The app pins media to a zoomable map, lets you follow the route of a journey and inspect locations down to a few feet, and includes an optional 3D view that adds perspective to your images.

Key Features

Photo Map places photos and videos precisely on a zoomable map and offers a 3D view for added depth. It handles local and cloud media quickly, with a free trial that displays up to 500 photos and in-app upgrades for larger libraries. Built-in search lets you find content by date or by jumping to specific locations and attractions. The app reads and writes photo metadata (EXIF) so ratings and edits remain visible across devices. You can import GPX, KML and KMZ routes to view trip tracks alongside media, and the app supports videos and animated GIFs, multiple map layers and offline caching for privacy.

Advantages

Photo Map keeps images private by avoiding intermediary servers and caching media only on your device when offline. It is designed to display large collections smoothly, with flexible limits and upgrade options for expanded cloud support. Sharing selected photos is straightforward, and active development adds device compatibility and new features over time.

Disadvantages

The free trial is limited to showing up to 500 photos, which may be restrictive for very large libraries. Cloud access is capped by pricing tiers, and some advanced capabilities or larger cloud libraries require in-app purchases to reach higher quotas.

Development Team

The app was conceived after conversations with travelers, archaeologists and environmental organizations that needed a simple way to document routes and later explore where they had been. The developer focuses on practical location-based tools and continues to refine the app based on user feedback.

Version Information

Regular updates add device support and new functionality; metadata is handled directly in photos so changes remain visible when files are moved between devices or services.
