Thank you for Map search, it is awesome for viewing. One can proceed to any found album and view it, but I would rather stay in Map search and use the thumbnails' location to choose pictures from a given spot.
When there are many albums from the same place, the view becomes cluttered. I would love to preselect a period to restrict the search, for instance this year's trip to Crete, not the trip in 2008. A simple year widget would be nice, a date range widget would be even better.
An alternative, or addition, would be to select just one album from the available albums in the map search. Then the Map widget would effectively provide a virtual tour of the album, just as it does now when there is only one album with location data from a given area.
A very general and powerful solution would be to restrict the Map search to the pictures within the current search, whatever that might be. 

Reproducible: Always

Hi Jon,

thanks for your comments! For the next big digikam release, Version 2.0, we have implemented a map view which can replace the icon view in the center of digikam. With this tool, you can display any images that you have in an album/ a saved search on a map.

We have also thought about extending the advanced search to include a map, but this has not been implemented yet.

Michael
