Solo hemos pasado 10 meses desde que lanzamos este Blog y todavía no habíamos dedicado un post a la función Photo Map Instagram y su sistema de geoetiquetado de fotografías. Esta función es seguramente junto a los hashtags la más importante a la hora de dar visibilidad a tus fotos y es por esto que deseamos darte estas 5 tips on how to use the Instagram photo map for optimize la aplicación.
Instagram usa un sistema de geoetiquetado para que cada foto se coloque donde la ha tomado en el mapa. Estas geoetiquetas no son más que metadata que se agregan a la foto y que indican las coordenadas del lugar donde se ha tomado la foto.
When you take a photo connected by Wi-Fi or 3G, your device records the coordinates of the place where it was taken and later Instagram takes those coordinates to add a geotag to your photo, from this dynamic you will later be able to include the photo on your Map.
Learn how to use the Instagram photo map correctly with these 5 tips.
If this is your first time using Instagram's photo map and geotagging feature, you should check it out first. mini-tutorial. If, on the other hand, you are already used to using this Instagram function, then it is time for you to start applying the tips that we explain below:
- Forget the gallery. As we have talked about before, Instagram uses your Wi-Fi or 3G connection to record the coordinates of the place where you are at that moment. These coordinates are the ones that are added to the geotag of your photo and later included in your map and all this is done just before publishing it. Therefore, it doesn't make much sense to use photos from your gallery that you already had, and that you took somewhere else, to post them on your photo map with an unrelated location. Conclusion, whenever you want to include a photo in your Instagram map, always take the photo from the application itself and post it on the spot.
- Please think before you discard a photo.. When you first access the map, it will ask you to review the geotagged photos. It is essential that you note that if you discard any of these photos during the review procedure, the location data of those photos will be permanently deleted from Instagram (in other words, your photo will continue to be published on your profile, but you will no longer be able to). re-incorporate it into your photo map). The only way to recover this data if you have accidentally deleted the geolocation of a photo is to upload the image again, but of course, this means that you will have the same photo published twice on your profile and the truth is that we do it. I do not recommend it. .
- Do not abuse. El mapa de fotos de Instagram es una gran herramienta para darle más scope a tus fotos, pero eso no quiere decir que tengas que usarlo siempre en todas tus publicaciones, de hecho no es muy buena idea hacerlo. Agrega a tu mapa solo las fotos que tomaste en lugares con charm (tourist places, emblematic places, monuments or landscapes) or also places of interest for your followers, for example: events you attend or your own commercial facilities if you are using Instagram to promote it. Always remember to avoid including photos on your map with the location near your home or another location that you prefer not to share.
- search audience. Use the map to identify where there is more activity in instagramers, dicho de otra forma, más fotos publicadas en esa ubicación en el mapa. Haga una lista con los lugares más activos que suele visitar muchas veces y la siguiente vez que vaya a ese sitio, publique fotos con la ubicación del lugar en su mapa. Hacer esto aumentará exponencialmente el alcance de las fotos en tu mapa y, a la larga, notarás cómo aumentan tus followers. (Puede utilizar la aplicación Web Instahood to find the places with the most published photos)
<> - know places. Uno de los usos más interesantes de la función de mapa de fotos de Instagram es la oportunidad de conocer lugares ocultos gracias a las fotos de otras persons. Cuando vayas a visitar una nueva ciudad o un lugar turístico que no conoces, echa un vistazo primero a las fotos que otras personas han tomado en ese lugar, te sorprenderás de la cantidad de lugares escondidos que no conocerías si no fue gracias al mapa de fotos.
We hope that these 5 tips on how to use the Instagram photo map, will help you take better advantage of this tool that we usually forget about and that will not only allow you to upload your Instagram photos to the audience, but will also help other people to know the places around you better.
