Using Map This Photo

Learn how to find the location where a photo was taken using Map This Photo on the web and mobile app.

Every photo you take in CompanyCam saves the location where it was captured. Map This Photo plots that photo on a map so you can see exactly where it was taken, who took it, and which Project it belongs to. Use it to confirm a photo matches the right job site or settle a question about where work happened.


On the web

Open a Project and click the photo you want to view on a map, then click the View on Map icon in the upper-right corner of the photo's details panel.

A map opens with a pin. The card shows the Project name, Project address, the User who captured the photo, and the direction they were facing.

Note: Photo locations are approximate.


In the app

Open a Project and tap the photo you want to view on a map, then tap the Map icon in the row of icons at the bottom of the photo.

A map opens with a pin. The card shows the Project name, Project address, and the User who captured the photo.

Note: Photo locations are approximate.


FAQs

Why can't I map one of my photos?

Photos without location data can't be mapped, and the map icon appears greyed out. Photos taken in the CompanyCam app save location data automatically, and photos uploaded from somewhere else can be mapped too, as long as the file still has its location data.

Can I view multiple photos on a map at once?

Map This Photo shows one photo at a time. There's no way to plot several photos on the same map view.

Why isn't the pin exactly where I took the photo?

Photo locations are approximate, so the pin can land slightly off from where you were standing when you took the photo.
