Good to know

Paris spots, the quick version.

How many spots does Photerra have in Paris?

42 and counting — each one a real photo pinned to the exact coordinate it was taken. New spots appear as travelers share them.

Are these Paris spots on Google Maps?

Many aren't. Photerra's spots are photo-coordinates — viewpoints, benches, trailheads and corners with no business listing or address — so they don't show up on maps built from business directories.

How do I get to a spot with no address?

Open any spot in the Photerra app and tap once to launch Apple Maps, Google Maps, Uber or Lyft — we hand them the exact coordinates even when the place has no name.
