iOS tip: how to view your photos on a map and in 3D Flyover on iPhone, iPad

Among the different features
that Apple's mapping application offers, there is one that allows you to
navigate the streets and places modeled in 3D in cities, but not
uniquely.

And this Flyover function is not only usable in the Plans app
but also in the Photos app which includes all the photos of
the user. It is indeed possible to displaya 3D map for
view photosdepending on their shooting location.

Here ishow to display your photos on a mapsans
additional application and even better: here's how to use the
3D Flyover Plans feature forsee precisely where his photos have
were taken on a 3D view:

How to view the map with localized photos on iPhone, iPad

Please note: this only works for photos taken with the
geolocation function activated. To start it (or
deactivate), go to Settings > Privacy, then press
“Location Services” then “Camera”.

At the bottom of each photo or by pressingDetailsin
top right of a photo, it is possible to display the shooting location
of it.

After a first press on the mini-map then displayed, it indicates
the location of the photo via a thumbnail. But it is possible to see
plus.

Pourdisplay all your photos on a map, il
Just tap “Show nearby photos”. In fact, even if the
text seems to indicate that only those located "nearby" are displayed
on the plan, in fact by "zooming out", these areall the photos that are
gradually visible or accessible on the map.

It then becomes possible tomove around then zoom in and see
all the photos (geolocated) in the camera rollon the
planisphere.

Or how to walk or search through your photos in an original way
and very practical.

But it is possible togo even further by passing into view
3D!

Indeed, beyond the map view, Apple offers for some
cities oneawesome 3D mode, which allows you to turn around
360 degrees, zoom in or move away. This is the “Fly-over” mode which
we spoke in these articles, with
including a list of cities covered.

As with photos located on the traditional map, Apple allows
to position your photos using this 3D view mode!

Once in the mode seen in the previous paragraph, it is then a matter of
to press thePetit iat the bottom right and select
Plan 3Dand select the view mode (Plan, Mixed or
Satellite) to display a 3D Flyover map with photos based on
their shooting location.

It is possible to zoom in on this map by pinching with two fingers, from
rotate, but also move around on it to see all the
other photos which were for example taken in the same city.

This trick works oniPhone, iPad, but also
onMac. A good way to review photos from vacations or
tourism in cities around the world, provided that the Flyover function
is available for these destinations.
