Photo Find shows you where a photo was taken and guides you back to that exact spot. Open a photo that has location data, and an arrow points to where it was taken, with the distance counting down as you go. You can also see the spot on a map or copy its GPS coordinates. The arrow points straight to the exact spot, even on a trail or in a big parking lot where a street address wouldn’t help. Take photos of anything in the Camera app to mark a spot, and navigate back later. On Apple Watch, the arrow and distance stay on your wrist. In AR, the photo appears in your camera view in the direction of the spot. Free, with no ads and no account. Use Photo Find to: - Hike back to your favorite camping, hunting, or foraging spot - Find your car using a photo when you can’t remember where you’ve parked - Meet up with friends at the spot in a photo they sent you - Take the scenic route. Drive by direction instead of turn-by-turn - Relive memories in the context of your current surroundings - Have a photo scavenger hunt with friends How to use: 1) Open the app 2) Paste a photo from the clipboard or select one from your library 3) If the photo has location information, you will see an arrow pointing to the location where the photo was taken. 4) Go in the direction the arrow is pointing. The distance will count down as you approach your destination. 5) Tap the button next to the distance to open the photo location on a map or copy the coordinates. If you have a photo in another app, tap the share button and choose Navigate in Photo Find. When it says “Ready to Navigate,” open Photo Find to load the photo and start navigating. Rearrange your share actions to keep the extension near the top. Keep in mind this app only works with photos that have EXIF location data. Not all apps save location data with photos, and the Camera app will only save location data if you have granted it access to your location. This app also relies on the accuracy of your device’s GPS and compass sensors, as well as the accuracy of location and altitude data when the photo was taken. There can be significant error in all these measurements, so accuracy of the app is limited by these factors. Photo Find works best for navigating outdoors to photos that were taken outdoors with good GPS reception.

Almost perfect

Great app! Very accurate. One wish — after I select a photo and view its map location, return me to that same photo in my photo library; don’t send me back to my most recent photo. When viewing locations of photos taken on a weeks trip for example, I must scroll, scroll, scroll to get back to a photo that may be beside the one I just looked at.

Developer Response
Thanks for the suggestion! For privacy reasons, the photo selection part is handled by iOS, so I do not have any control over that screen or a way to start it at a specific photo without re-creating that whole screen and requiring that the app have access to all photos.As a workaround you could browse in the Photos app, and then use the Navigate in Photo Find action to open the photo right in the app from there. That way, you can continue where you left off in your photo browsing.

Would be great if distance could be changed. No possibility to turn kilometers on. My phone indeed is set to US even though I am not there all the time. It still would help to be able to changeEdit : Missing setting added. I changed to 5*. 👍🏻 to the dev !

Developer Response
Hello! It’s based on the region settings of your iPhone. If your phone is set to a region that uses km it will display the distance in km. In the newest update I’ve also added a setting that allows you to override your selected region and always show in miles or always show in km.

I just dropped my car off at the airport for a Turo renter. I took pictures of the car and I sent the renter a message giving the combination to the key vault. However I had forgotten to note the parking space and didn't realize it until I was back at the terminal. I did a Google search on how to find the location of a photo, found this app, downloaded it, and found my car very fast and accurately. I love this app. Great job!!

It doesn’t work every time I try it it says no location find so don’t waste your time

Hello. It only says that when the photo does not have location data in it. If you use a photo with location data in it, the app works great.
