Step 6- You can add titles and tags to your photo here as well as a comment or description of you picture. TAGS allow you to find photos by commonality (ex. Names (Johnny), location (Germany), etc.). Titles allow you to give a description of the picture in detail. Describe the picture to help the viewer gain context. BE SURE TO PRESS SAVE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

Step 7- The main page. In the shot on the left you see the top portion of the page and on the right you see the bottom portion of the page. The screen shot on the right shows where you can add comments to your photo or other friend’s photos. The screen shot on the left is where we are heading next. Click on the “Add to your map”

Add a tag here (Germany). This will allow you to find photos in common at a later date.

Step 8- Now it is time to place your picture on the map. The picture can be placed as general or specific as you like by using the toggle on the right side of the map. Just simply drag and drop the picture. The second map shot is more detailed to give you a comparison. The second map I placed the photo in Germany proper.
