What are Instagram Photo Maps?

Last Updated :

Instagram photo maps lets you showcase places where you've taken your photos. Instagram photos also allow you to explore places where others have taken photos on a map. When you re-visit a place it lets you rediscover old Instagrammed memories. You can edit your photo map as and when required. Instagram photo maps is an all new way for everyone to view Instagram Photos.

You must be wondering how it works. Well, when you snap a picture while connected to a Wi-Fi or a 3G mobile network, your phone logs the co-ordinates where it was taken. Using that information, you can then add a photo to a photo map. It a unique and fun way to add photos to your Photo Map, document travels and see photos of other Instagrammers who have been to that place or to a nearby location.  

By default, adding location or adding to your Photo Map is turned off for all photos you upload to Instagram. This means that no photos will appear on your Photo Map without your explicit permission.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
