How do I show a map of where the photos were taken?
Last checked 31 October 2026
Give each scene a location, then switch on the map icon. On the Panoramas tab, select the scene in Panorama List and, in the Advanced view, type its Latitude and Longitude, or click the map-pin button and choose a spot in Pinpoint Location. If the photo carries its own GPS position, Use where the photo was taken fills in the two boxes in one click.
A tour shows no map until you turn the icon on, or set the corner minimap to show it (Show in Floorplan minimap on the Design tab, Advanced view). On the Design tab open Top nav bar – dropdown, go to its Icons tab and tick Map in the card Icons in the bar (it is off to begin with). For visitors on a phone, tick Map in Mobile navigation as well. Click Save & Render. The icon appears only when at least one scene has both numbers, and the map has a marker for each scene that has a location.
The map icon is part of a theme: on a Free plan, a tour in a Pro theme that has never been hosted shows the free Default look, without the icons of the dropdown bar and the phone bars.
A photo's own GPS position stays private to you. The location you type or pin is sent to visitors with the tour, so choose a spot you are happy to make public. Add a location to a panorama and show a map in your tour has the other bars and what the map looks like.
