[Added] Toolbar button to jump to Apple Maps or Google Maps
Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2022 9:40 pm
I'd love to see an optional button on the toolbar to jump immediately to the Apple "Maps" app to display the location of the current picture.
Why? Because the map currently in GC is not as detailed as "Maps".
Nuances:
- the button would be an optional addition to the toolbar
- it would be dimmed if the current photo has no GPS info
- launch "Maps" if not already open
- easy enough for the user to do Cmd-Shift-D in "Maps" to put a pin at that location.
- This would also make it super easy to create a map showing all the pins for the locations of several photos.
•••ALSO•••: In GC itself, if the Info "Map" panel is showing, and a photo is opened that does NOT have location info, the Info "Map" panel should be cleared. Currently, the map for the last photo that DID have location info is still shown.
Thanks for considering this!
