I thought I had seen and taken note of an App or something where you can take a picture or screen shot (of a map) and then overlay where the images were taken in a fairly quick and automatic way.

I'd like to give my clients a sort of "Image Map" so they can get an idea of what the image is depicting etc for those who can't easily decipher Aerial Images.


Mini 4 Pro if that matters.

Basically something similar to this VERY rough draft:

Trying to understand. I don’t really get what you were wanting.

Hey Al.

A lot of image editors will show where a single image that is geo-tagged is captured from. I do what I think you are talking about for customer's imagery of acreage where it is difficult for them to have situational awareness.

I just drop the set into Metashape and overlay the camera positions onto a satellite image layer. It doesn't show the direction of the camera like you are wanting. But, I include the location of the subject property (magenta in my example) so the client can infer that the camera was pointing at the subject from it's location. Maybe some of this workflow would be useful for your needs?

An example:
