iOS Tip 86 - Show Photos on Maps

Being able to see where you've taken photos can be very helpful if you want an overview of which photos you've taken near certain locations. Previous iOS versions highlighted this feature very prominently, but with the advent of iOS 7 and iOS 8, this feature is a little more hidden. To see your photos on a map, try these steps:
1 Open the Photos app
2 Select the Photos tab
3 Locate a header above the photos for a particular date and location, and then tap the location
When you do this, it will show that collection of photos on a map. However, if you wish to see all of your photos for a particular year on a map, navigate back to the Years section, and tap a year header. When you do this, all the photos taken that year will be displayed on a map.

iPhone Tip 58: Who's Following Me?

For additional protection, having the location status-bar enabled in the notification area tells you when an app or service is using your location — even without you authorizing it, or knowing about it.

To enable this, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services >System Services (scroll to the end) and then select the Status Bar Icon buried down the page.
