PhotoNav Hack 2.3

Screenshots

Description

Note: as of iOS 13, the built-in "Where Was This Taken?" Shortcut provides similar functionality, without the need for a standalone app (such as PhotoNav).

PhotoNav simply shows you a photo from your photo library with its location shown on a map, and lets you get directions to the place it was taken.

PhotoNav is free (as in beer, but without the commercials).

Version history

2.3

2022-10-20

Version 2.3 drops support for taking a photo from within the app (use the Camera app instead). It also drops support for some earlier versions of iOS, and updates some of its internals.

2.2

2021-04-08

Fixed a rare case of unexpectedly quitting.

2.1

2020-10-21

Fixes a permission problem under iOS 14. (Note that PhotoNav under iOS 14+ won't work well without full access to your Photo Library.)

2.0

2020-03-29

Version 2.0 has a simplified user interface, and a more reliable extension.

1.10

2019-01-17

Minor update for latest hardware and software.

1.9

2018-09-22

Minor cleanup and compatibility updates.

1.8

2017-10-08

Rebuilt for iOS 11 & iPhone X.

1.7

2017-05-23

Minor improvements to the user interface, and finally a real fix for a persistent problem with the action extension.

1.6

2017-04-24

Version 1.6 improves PhotoNav's reliability when it's invoked from another app such as Photos.

PhotoNav now requires iOS 10.3 or later.

1.5

2016-11-02

PhotoNav now points you in the direction you want to go, handy for those situations where directions are not available or appropriate—in a parking lot, for example, or on unmapped trails. If available, you'll also get an estimate of actual driving (or walking!) distance and time. Tap the pointer to switch between driving and walking.

There' s new icon to go with it, and reliable operation when invoked from Photos (this time for sure!).

1.4

2016-10-03

PhotoNav now tries to show both you and your picture in the initial map view. And a persistent, nagging crash when running PhotoNav from Photos or other apps should be gone for good.

1.3

2016-09-23

Revised user interface for quicker access to photos & directions.

1.2

2016-08-26

Bug fixes & improved compatibility with iOS 10.

1.1

2016-04-14

Drag the address bar to make the photo bigger or smaller. Tap or double-tap the photo and see what happens (could be handy; you never know). Wide photos? Rotate your phone (yeah, we know, but 1.0 didn't notice). Finally, there's a PhotoNav Action Extension: invoke PhotoNav directly from Photos. Handy!
