Hi,

Am I asking the impossible here?

I have a photo taken by grandad in the 1920's. I have managed to locate it on Google Maps and get a street view from where he took the photo.
Is it possible to link to the actual Streetview somehow in the location box in the info box on the photo?

I'll post some screenshots of what I mean

Many thanks for any help

This is the photo



This is a screenshot of street view

Yes, should be fairly straight forward, there should be an option of adding a location on Google / Apple photos, just open the photo and edit the EXIF data on the right hand side by clicking the "I" button, there's normally a add location option ?

Thanks for taking the time to reply. i am in Apple Photos and can open the info box and enter the location by name. When doing this I can only see the aerial view. i was hoping to see the Streetview as in my example. My knowledge is fairly limited here, and I had to look up EXIF data

if you get the coordinates (using google and google maps).... eg 51.5014° N, 0.1419° W. you can copy them into the location box. Right click photo... get info.... But it will not directly link to street view.
