Step By Step Photo Mapping: Basics

Step 2: Import roads

Now that I have image files on my hard drive, I open 93 Photo Street:

The quick start page shows the steps to take when making a photo map, so I start with step one, "Import roads."

Import roads

I happen to know that the city of San Francisco is in San Francisco County, so I select the "Map->Import roads..." menu item and then type that into the county name field, select CA from the state drop down menu, and click the "Import" button:

Because I haven't loaded San Francisco County before, 93 Photo Street contacts the US Census servers and downloads the free road data files:

When the download completes, 93 Photo Street shows a map of all of the roads and water bodies in San Francisco County:

Note: New in 93 Photo Street Version 1.2, you can import your own map images using the "Map->Import map image..." menu item.

If I had taken photos for more than one county, I would import more roads. But since I have all of the road maps I need, I can move on to the next step.
