Picasa and Picasa Web Albums Help

Below are instructions for assigning map locations for albums and individual photos in Picasa Web Albums.

• For albums:

  1. Click into your album from the My Photos page.
  2. Click Edit in the top navigation bar.
  3. Choose Album properties.
  4. Enter the name of a place (such as a city name, address, or ZIP code) into the 'Place Taken' field. Use the accompanying map to help specify the location by dragging and dropping the marker to the appropriate spot.
  5. Click Save Changes.



• For a single photo:

  1. When viewing an individual photo, click the Add Location link on the right side of the page. If a location has already been added to the photo, the link will appear as Edit Location.
  2. Enter the name of a place (such as a city name, address, or ZIP code). Use the accompanying map to help specify the location by dragging and dropping the marker to the appropriate spot.
  3. Click Save Location.



• For multiple photos in the same album:

  Open the album map to add, edit and view the locations of all your photos on the map.

  1. Click in to the album from the My Photos page.
  2. Click Edit in the top navigation bar.
  3. Select Album Map to view all photos in the album and the corresponding map.
  4. Click the Edit Map button to add photos to the map or to make changes to existing placements. There are two ways to add photos to the map:
  • Drag and drop photos from the left pane onto the map.
  • Select a photo in the left pane and then click a location on the map - no dragging required.

  If you make a mistake, simply drag the photo marker to the correct location.
