Good to know

Rome spots, the quick version.

How many spots does Photerra have in Rome?

59 and counting — each one a real photograph, pinned about where it was taken. The map grows as people add to it and as the open archive is reviewed in.

Are these Rome 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 coordinates even when the place has no name.
