Hello @Vr360jd

your Location Depends on your Location Accuracy.

so please refer Find and improve your location’s accuracy to improve your device location accuracy.

hope it helps you.

Hi @Vr360jd,

When we take a picture with geo-tagging on, the camera app will write the co-ordinates to the picture as EXIF data.

Then when the photos is posted, the web site can read the EXIF geo-tag and display the co-ordinates visually in a Map.

Thus there can be multiple place gone wrong:

1.  Your Phone's GPS sensor is giving wrong data.

2.  You Camera App is wring the GPS data wrongly.

3.  The Website is reading the GPS EXIF data wrongly.

If only one of your photo, then item 1 above is the most probable to me.

Hello all,

This topic appears to be unrelated not only to Mapping, but also to Local Guides.  At this time Google does not provide an option to add pictures to Maps based on GPS coordinates, thus anyone uploading pictures to a map that locates them based on GPS is using some other product.  We cannot advise you about that product here.
