Automatic location Collections

Location collections group together files based on the geographical location information in the files. This information is present in photos taken on smartphones when location services are enabled, and in certain cameras.

To see these collections, click Collections in the main menu. These collections are listed in the Places grouping.

A few things to note:

  • The collection is normally at the level of a city, such as San Francisco or London. Sometimes, a collection might be created for a district or landmark.
  • When you open a photo and click More info and then Show more (read File information for more details). You can view the latitude and longitude information. This information isn't editable.
  • Collections aren't created for states, regions, or countries. However, you can search for them. For example, searching for United States or California will return photos taken in San Francisco.
