Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Photo Location Finder tool:
- Provide the photos and describe the research context — travel planning, content verification, or location scouting.
- Run `locate_photo` with `photo-location-finder` for each photo.
- Ask ChatGPT to compile the identifications into a structured location report with confidence ratings.
- Use the report for trip planning, editorial fact-checking, or scout briefing.
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Photo Location Finder tool
Use photo-location-finder to identify the locations of these 5 travel photos I want to recreate on an upcoming trip. Return each with the likely location, confidence level, and key visual clues that led to the identification. Then suggest a logical trip itinerary that would cover all 5 spots.
Tips
- Ask ChatGPT to note which photos have conflicting visual clues — mixed signals produce lower confidence identifications.
- For trip planning, ask ChatGPT to group identified locations geographically so the itinerary is logistically sensible.
- Request the nearest major city alongside each specific location — it is more useful for flight booking than a neighbourhood name alone.
