Things to know:
- Hidden photos, photos in password-protected or unlisted galleries, and photos protected by a site-wide viewing password will not show on maps (due to the terms of use of Google Maps.)
- Your site-wide SmugIslands setting in your control panel must be "Yes" for Hello Smuggers, and your gallery settings should have "Inherit site-wide setting" for Hello Smuggers.
- The Edit Geography option in your gallery settings must be set to "Yes".
Ways to tell us where the photo was taken:
- If your photo has location info embedded in what's called its EXIF (a note stuck to your photo with details like the date it was taken) SmugMug automatically reads it and makes your gallery mappable. Check this SmugBlog entry for ways to embed it.
- Have an iPhone™? Use SmugShot and your photos will arrive in your SmugMug gallery all tagged and ready to map.
- Add info by hand:
- While logged in, select Edit Geography from the Tools Menu.
- Enter what you have of the address, as in 1380 S Disneyland Drive, Anaheim, CA.
- See if we could find you. If not, scroll to the right place on the map and click.
