Pics of a certain GPS location without any "place"

[ThomasH]

Is it possible to add pics of certain gps locations to maps (just like it was possible in oanoramio) even though there is no close place on maps. With 360 pics it is possible with the street view app. Would appreciate this possibility.

Short answer, no.

Flat photos should be attached to a place (a POI), so if there's nothing at the location then there's no POI to associate the image with. Some LGs will try a workaround by creating a spurious place like 'Tourist attraction' then adding the photo to that. This is very bad practice and, though it may sometimes be temporarily successful, eventually both the POI and images will be removed.

As you've already mentioned this doesn't apply to 360 photos which can be placed anywhere via StreetView

Thaks for your reply, i really think gps based pic upload should be integrated in maps for a better user experience.
