Google Photos becomes the best Google application to know in which cities you were after the big change in Google Maps

Google applications are generally the most used in EuropeBut some like Google Maps are titans in almost all Western countries. Only in Asia, there are alternatives, mainly due to limitations (China), or by the presence of local applications that love users of certain countries to have specific functions (Japan).

This makes the use of this application much further than being a simple GPS navigation application. In addition to approaching what a social network is, it was also used to check where we have been at any time each time we take the mobile with us.

But recently, Google began to announce that it would change the way in which the history of locations or chronology would behave. Due to confidentiality problems, the company will stress this data in the cloud unlimitedly to do it on mobile And only for a few months. Thus, we will lose the ability to check in which places we have been over the years.

Fortunately, there is always an application that allows us to check the places where we have been, provided that we took a photo. That's why It is perfect to know where we have traveled, either for work or for pleasureBecause it is exceptionally rare not to take a photo today when we leave our city.

We refer to Google Photos which, at least for the moment, keep the thermal card in the cloud, a function which geolocates the images that we have stored in our account, although obviously This does not give us the same level of detail that we had on Google Mapsthat he was able to tell us the location at any time.

To be able to look at the card where the photos appear, it's important have activated geolocation in the application of the camera. This is what allows Exif, the information section of an image, to have the GPS coordinates of the mobile. Then we just have to go to the Google Photos application, open one of the images and slide up.

The details will appear. Among these details, there is a card that will be extended if we click on. Then we can move to check the places we have been and see the photos we have taken in each of these places.
