Learn how to view photos on map on your Sony Xperia Z2. 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.
Note: 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.

Note: If several photos were taken at the same location, only one of them appears on the map. The total number of photos appears in the top right corner, for example, Picture icon. To view all photos in the group, tap the cover photo and then tap one of the thumbnails at the bottom of the screen.
