Hi everyone,

For the last week or so, I've been playing around the the Smugmug app for the iPhone and trying to get the pictures taken with the iPhone to show up on the map. However, the photos that are captured and uploaded by the app doesn't have the geotag info attached. So when I click on "map this", the map would show somewhere near San Francisco, CA, and not where the photos are taken, which is near Toronto, Canada. It would also show "0 photos". I am at a lost why this is happening.

This is the link when I click on "map this":

and my gallery is:

Can anyone shed some light into this? Much appreciated.

Give it some time, it'll catch up.

Thanks... I'm trying to figure out if this is an iPhone app problem, or a Map This problem.

I tried taking a photo from one of my public galleries and added geo data to it by specifying a location. Then I tried using "Map This" and I don't get anything... map shows San Francisco area, 0 photos.

Are you saying it takes time for the geo data to propagate, or this feature is currently broken and it's taking time to get fixed?

Thanks.
