- [Narrator] In addition to all the other technologies…that Photos uses to help us organize our shots,…geo data is right in there in the mix.…We are looking at the Places part of the app right now,…and I have Places highlighted over here in the sidebar,…and we get a cool map.…Now, I'm zoomed in on California right now, because,…quite frankly I spend a lot of time here.…(laughs)…I live up her in Santa Rosa.…I hand around a lot in the Bay area.…I have a son going to college down here in Santa Barbara.…
I have family down in the L.A. area.…So I have a lot of iPhone shots from those places.…And because I have a lot of iPhone shots, then Photos…recognizes that data and plots it on the map for me.…So if I want to see what's going on, all I have to do is…click on an image and here are all the shots from that…general place.…Let's go back.…But if I zoom in more, I will see a finer rendering…of these different places.…So let me just double-click right here on the map,…and zoom in, and then you can just drag around.…
Double-click again, zoom in,…
