I have many pictures with geotags embedded in their exif data (either from a google takeout or lightroom).
I would love to be able to see the pictures on a map and be able to zoom in on a location and see all pictures taken there.
A secondary feature would be to further limit the search by range of time, camera, lens, etc.
Do you mean having a full-screen map view that has a search bar (and only shows results of the search on the map?) That’d be super handy!
It’d also be a pretty hefty query (the fulltext search index and kdtree can’t be indexed together, I don’t think, so the result might take a while to compute… I’ll think about how to make it performant.)
Don’t know if it would help the query, but doing a “limited result” return if you have the map zoomed out (so that you only return a high level result) and do a more in-depth search if you are zoomed into a smaller area.
An embedded map view is still on the plan, but I wanted to note the first piece of it that’s landed. When a photo has GPS coordinates, the info panel now shows them and offers links to open that spot in Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap, or whatever map app your device has registered. The embedded map and map-based browsing are the next phases of this work. This is in today’s release: PhotoStructure v2026.9 | PhotoStructure
