The pins on the map denote the geotags of your photos.
You move the map to find the location where a photo was taken, then you assign this location to the photo.
You can also use the map to see where you have taken photos. Select a pin on the map to show the photo in the photos list.
In Version 2.0 the pin buttons have been moved to the toolbar:
From left to right it's:
- Set pin
- Remove pin
- Zoom map to show all pins of the selected photos or the current album
- Change map style from standard to hybrid to satellite
- Search field for addresses
- Button to access the address book and bookmarks list
How to set a pin
- Select a photo
- Switch to the map page
- Move the map until the right location is under the crosshair cursor
- Tap on the pin button on top or besides the thumbnail photo onto the grey pin
- A red pin appears in the middle of the map
- A red pin appears besides the photo in the list
As an alternative you can set a pin by holding one finger on the desired location.
If you have set the "write metadata" option, the photo will be downloaded from the cloud, if neccessary. Then the app will ask you for allowance to modify the photo:

Pin Colors
Red pins denote geotags for single photos. Tapping on a red pin shows the callout above the pin with some basic photo infos (or with the image title if one is given), and the photo is selected in the photos list on the left.
Purple pins denote multiple photos taken at the same location. Tapping a purple pin shows the number of photos behind the pin and selects all respective photos in the photos list.
