The search is really quite fun to play with, and very useful! I also like searching on the map and seeing where I’ve taken photos. Especially if I’m looking for one particular photo, it’s fun to zoom in from the world map

Thanks for pointing that out. I actually had the opportunity to sync my iPhone photos to Google Photos, but opted to decline. This made me reconsider; cheers.

  • Why would this feature , that is also apart of Photos, make you reconsider ?

    • As much as I like apple / iCloud / my iPhone, I do like the idea of seeing all the places on a map that I’ve traveled with my lovely wife Emily. We’re hoping to go to the Seychelles if the next three months work out at my contract gig.

      I like the idea of being able to type “water” and see a bunch of water bottles mixed in with all the water-y places we’ve visited.

      What sealed the deal was to see it on a map. I typed “water” into Photos just now, and it did a pretty good job. But there’s something peculiar about being able to look at a pin and say “I’ve been at that pin.”

      Just a silly thing. But it costs me nothing to get it, so I want it.
