Google Photos has long learned to track the location of taking photos that do not contain geodata – it did this using the location history of your Google account (by default, it is automatically saved, “so you can enjoy personalized maps, recommendations and more”). Now, the developers have abandoned this method and left another one – recognition of visible landmarks and sights in photographs. This is reported by 9to5Google.
In simple terms, neural networks in Google Photos look for any famous buildings, monuments, signs, fountains, and other objects in user photos in order to determine the geolocation of images. This feature should work better than it does now, as Google began to put more effort into the development of this technology.
Along with this, the developers announced the appearance in Google Photos of the option to delete all intended locations for photos already taken.
