What is the 'View user' button?

Why do I not see the 'Geotag your photos' and 'View your photos' buttons?

You must be logged in to see these buttons.

Can other people view my geotagged photos?

Yes, this is the whole point of PBase Maps. Your Maps page can be viewed by anyone at maps.pbase.com/user where user is your login. If your login is 'slug' your Maps page would be maps.pbase.com/slug. Furthermore, there is a map link at the top right of any gallery that has any geotagged images. There is also a 'view map' link on any image page when that image has been geotagged.

Why do some of my photos not show up when I log out?

If you are a paying user, any photos that are in a locked gallery that you geotag will not show up for anyone except yourself. If you are a trial account user, any photos that you geotag will show up for everyone. If your map behavior doesn't match this, send an email to support@pbase.com describing the problem.

Can I see more than one person's geotagged photos at a time?

Not yet, but we plan on adding this functionality.

When I view a gallery is there a way to show sub gallery photos?

Unfortunately, if this feature were added PBase Maps would be too slow. If we can figure out how to implement this without losing performance we won't hesitate to do so.

How do I delete geotags?

If you know the image ID of the photo who's geotag you want to delete, you can go to maps.pbase.com/edit/image/ID or from maps.pbase.com click 'Geotag your photos', navigate to the appropriate gallery then click the photo who's geotag you want to delete. You will see at the bottom of the balloon that pops up 'save' and 'delete' links. Just click 'delete' and that photo will no longer be geotagged.
