How to show the map in Photos?
I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite with the new Photos application. I have seen screenshots online where we can view photos on a map, however I can't get to that map.
How can I see all of my photos on a map, like in iPhoto/Aperture?
Solution 1:
For more recent versions of Photos.app (Version 2.0 that came with macOS 10.12 Sierra at least), there is a "Places" item avaialble under "Albums" in the sidebar (use "View" -> "Show Sidebar" if it is not visible). This gives a map view similar to that available in iPhoto.app.
For older versions of Photos.app, it does not appear that there is a way to see ALL photo locations on a map at one time, aside from a small Info window. Here's what you need to do:
For the small info window that shows all locations:
1. Go to the Albums tab in Photos
2. Right-click on "All Photos" -> Get info
3. Note the small window has a map included which you can zoom in/out of
For maps that vary by date:
- Go to View menu -> Metadata -> Location
Go to the Photos tab and zoom all the way out to Years
Note that there are locations next to the year. Click on the location name
Solution 2:
You can type a location into the search box and one of the options usually is a location; if you select it, a map comes up showing all of the photos taken in that location. For example, if you type 'Colorado' in the search box, 'Colorado - State' is one of the choices.
