Add or remove maps in photo books

Most book themes include page layouts that contain maps. Maps automatically display locations associated with a photo. You can also add your own locations to maps.

You can add a customizable map to any page in your book, except the front and back covers, and the dust jacket of a hardcover book. Map page layouts are available in all book sizes except Small.

To add a map to a book page:

  1. Open the book project.

    The book pages appear in All Pages view.

  2. Click the Layout button in the toolbar.

  3. Double-click the page you want to add the map to.

    The page spread appears with the page selected.

  4. In the Layout pane, choose Map from the Layout pop-up menu, and then select a map page layout from the options that appear below the Layout pop-up menu.

    • If you want a map to show all of the locations associated with the photos in the book, select a map page layout that contains only a map (and no photos).

    • If you want a map to show only the locations of the photos on the page, select a map page layout that includes a map and photos.
