Types of Locations
At OLM, we currently have 3 types of Locations
Countries, States, and Cities.
For example, USA is a Country, that has 50 States, and each State has many Cities (this includes towns, villages, and more).
We use the terms "State and City" loosely to describe the nested regions inside a Country.
For example, Ireland is a Country, that has 32 Counties, which are called States in OLM. Hopefully we will get to have more advanced location relationships and naming conventions in the future but for now this is how it works.
Locations are added to OLM dynamically during photo upload. If you are the first to upload a new photo from a location that does not exist on OLM, you will create that location and add it to our database.
In your privacy settings, you can control if you want your Name or Username to appear in the "Created By" section for any Locations you created.
