Viewing Photos with Places

Many digital cameras (including the one built in to the iPhone) contain GPS (Global Positioning System) information that identifies where a picture was captured. By using the GPS information stored in your pictures, iPhoto can identify pictures by the location where you captured them.

Note

If your camera does not insert GPS information, you can add location information manually. See Editing Photo Locations in Editing Photo Locations.

If you go on vacation to Europe, iPhoto can identify all the pictures taken in Paris, London, and Berlin. Because iPhoto organizes pictures by their location, it can help you find a picture if you know you captured it in a certain location, such as in Los Angeles, Chicago, or Miami.
