PhotoExplorer

PhotoExplorer is a unique tool that allows you to find additional information about your media based on embedded GPS information, people you’ve tagged in your photos, and more.

If a photo has embedded GPS information, you can quickly view a photo’s location in the Mylio Photos Map view, perform a web search using your photo’s GPS information to view the surrounding area, get driving directions, or even make a restaurant reservation. Mylio Photos works with your default web browser and lets you select your preferred online map service (Apple Maps, Bing Maps, Google Earth, Google Maps, or Open Street Maps).

*TIP: Enable GPS Annotations – Annotations can help you quickly identify images that contain GPS information and can be enabled in the More menu.

If you’ve tagged faces in a photo, you can easily switch to the People view to see more photos of those in that photo. If you’ve added their contact information, you can create an email or text message to share the selected image or even initiate a call.
