I am at level 8 and 9 looks a long way away; so I am looking for more ways to earn points.
I’m interested in finding out more about tagging photos. Usually I upload photos without a review. I must be missing where it asks me to tag them. Sometimes a few days later, after I have uploaded photos, Maps will ask me to identify things in the photos food, menu, Etc. Is there a way to add tags when uploading without adding a review?
Is there a way to go back and add tags, and will you still get bonus points?
If you are on an Android device, just open your photo contribution list and from there you can add a caption to each and every photo you have uploaded.
Find the icon close to the bottom of the screen after you tapped on a photo.
In short you gain 3 points when you Upload a photo in a place that is providing Food and Google Is asking you to add the name of the dish.
The feature doesn’t works when you the photo is attached to a review. But in this case you may be prompted to add the dish name later, through your “contribute” tab in Google Maps App.
This feature should not be confused with the Caption that you can add in a photo. You will not receive points for a caption, but please keep in mind that a photo caption can be extremely useful for visually impaired users of Google Maps. So please do not use the caption as an alternative of a review. Use the caption to better describe your photo
This is exactly what I was trying to clarify and what I suspected. Captions do Not = tags. It means that tags won’t be a way for me to add many points as I don’t eat out very often.
