    Show GPS-location of loaded photo faster in Google Maps?

    Ok, I know, I can load a *.jpg photo, then click through menu

    Image--->Information---->EXIF info---->Show in Google Maps

    to let IrfanView show the corresponding GPS location in browser.
    It works, but is very, very tedious and user unfriendly

    Since I am using this function very frequently I would appreciate a faster access.

    Can a new sub menu item "Show in Google Maps" be placed just in menu "Image"?

    Or/additionally) as a new toolbar icon?

    Thank you
    Thomas

    You may use keyboard to access the function.
    1. Open the image.
    2. Press I for Information.
    3. Press E for EXIF.
    4. Press M for Google maps.
    My system: IrfanView 4.62 64bit, Windows 10 22H2, Intel Core i5-3570, 16GB RAM, NVidia GTX 1050Ti 4GB

      It's highly recommended that you explore the keyboard shortcuts. You can perform many actions in IrfanView much faster using the keyboard instead of the menu or toolbar.

        Thank you for the suggestion BUT:

        Do you really think this is faster than clicking through the menus? Come on.
        ONE (user customizable) shortcut would be required here.

        More important: I am using this function only occasionally.
        When I need it the next time I have to remember the exact shortcut(s).

        Since I am working with hundreds of programs I have to remember thousands of shortcuts.
        This is impossible. So currently I am forced to investigate it every time somewhere in help or IV webpage.
        This is very uncomfortable.

        So what I (and other users) need is a kind of visually guided short way to call the function.
        Top/Second-level menu entry or a user customizable toolbar icon with short help description when hovering over it would be perfect.

        Can I encourage you to add this in the next version?
        That would be one more valuable feature for IrfanViewer

        Thank you

          You have to remeber only I for information, other shortcuts are indicated by underlined lettes on buttons. This is convention used in programs since Win95.
