Understanding Map View

Mylio offers three different styles for the Map view:

• Standard
• Satellite Hybrid
• Topographical

To change the Map view style:

1. While in Map view, select the View menu (three vertical dots in the top-right)
2. Select “Map Style”
3. Choose between the options for your personal preference.

This View menu option changes the Map style in Map view as well as the Map tab in the Info panel while in other views.

To open Mylio’s Map view, select Map from the View Selector. If you have photos that contain GPS data, they will appear as pins on the map automatically.

Mylio will collect your images into pins based off of the proximity that they were taken. You can zoom into the map using a pinch-in and pinch-out technique on touchscreens and trackpads, or use the plus and minus signs in the bottom right corner of the map to zoom in and out. As you zoom in, Mylio separates your photos into more defined pins, allowing you to better see where each set of photos was taken. Please see the example below of Map view at different zoom levels:

Zoomed In:

Once you have found a set of photos that you wish to view, select the pin by clicking or tapping on it to view the photos taken in that area.

Searching for Photos

In addition to browsing photos by manipulating the Map view, you can also utilize Mylio’s search from within Map view to find a specific location. For instance, you can type “Bermuda” in Mylio’s search bar to automatically be taken to the island of Bermuda and shown the images taken there.

Alternatively, you can search for a specific address or landmark in the Map view’s search to be taken to that location as well.

If your photos do not currently have GPS data, you can add GPS data to them in Mylio.

1. Locate the image that you wish to add GPS data to. You can locate them using All Photos view, Folder view, Album view, People view, or Calendar view.
   
     Note:  these steps must be completed in grid view (multiple photos being seen). GPS data cannot be manipulated in single-photo view.
2. Open the Map section of the Details panel.                                                                                                           
3. Select the image or set of images so that they are outlined in blue. You can select multiple images by holding the Command key (Mac) or Control key (Windows) while clicking multiple images.
4. Move the map in the Map panel to the general location you want the photos to be tagged at by clicking and dragging or tapping and dragging the map. You can zoom in and out of the map with the plus and minus sign at the bottom right of the Map panel. If needed, you can make the Map panel larger or smaller by selecting the arrow at the left center of the Map panel.
5. Once you have a location chosen, drag the selected photos out of Mylio’s center panel and into the Map panel. A green plus sign will appear in the Map panel, showing that you are pinning the images to this location.
6. Drop the images where you would like them to be tagged. You can fine-tune this later if needed.
7. Mylio will create a pin containing your images that can now be moved and fine-tuned by dragging it.
8. Once you are ready to confirm the location of the pin, select the green check mark in the top left. If you would like to cancel, select the red X at the top right.

If your photos include incorrect GPS data, you can change it within Mylio’s Map view or from the image (or set of images) themselves.

Changing Incorrect GPS Data from Image view

1. Open an image in Mylio or find a group of images in grid view that have incorrect GPS data.
2. Open the Map section of the Details panel.
   
3. Select the image or set of images so that they are outlined in blue. You can select multiple images by holding the Command key (Mac) or Control key (Windows) while clicking multiple images.
4. Mylio will display the current GPS location for the selected images in the Map panel. If no specific location is shown, the photos may not currently have readable GPS data (you can proceed with the following steps to add location data if desired).
5. Move the map to the general location you want the photos to be tagged by clicking and dragging or tapping and dragging the map. You can zoom the map with the plus and minus sign at the bottom right of the Map panel. If needed, you can make the Map panel larger or smaller by selecting the arrow at the left center of the Map panel.
6. Once you have a location chosen, drag the selected photos out of Mylio’s center panel and into the Map panel. A green plus sign will appear in the Map panel, showing that you are adding the images to this location.
7. Drop the images where you would like them to be tagged. You can fine-tune this later if needed.
8. Mylio will alert you that you are editing the locations for your selected media. Select Move to confirm.

Changing Incorrect GPS Data from Map view

1. Open Map view by selecting Map from the View Selector.
2. Locate the pin of images that have incorrect GPS data. Do not open the pin by selecting it, stay in Map view.
3. Click/tap and hold on the pin you wish to change the location of.
4. Select Edit location for X media
5. Drag the pin to the correct location. You can drag outside of your current view by approaching the edge, or zoom out (and back in, later) to move far away from the current location.
6. Select the green check mark at the top left of the pin to confirm the new GPS data, or select the red X in the top right to cancel.

In some cases, you may want to completely remove the location data for a photo or set of photos. Mylio can help with this.

Remove GPS Data from Image View

1. Open Mylio and navigate to the photo or set of photos that you wish to remove the GPS data from.
2. Open the Map section of the Details panel.
3. Select the image or set of images so that they are outlined in blue. You can select multiple images by holding the Command key (Mac) or Control key (Windows) while clicking multiple images.
4. With the images selected, the Map section of the Details panel will display the selected image’s pin in blue.
5. Manipulate the zoom level of the map by using the plus and minus sign in the bottom right of the Map section of the Details panel to ensure the pin you want to remove GPS data from does not contain too many, or not enough, images.
6. Right-click on the pin (or Option+click on Mac) to open a dialog that allows you to remove the GPS data for the selected pin.
7. Select “Remove GPS from X selected media” to remove the GPS data.
