Search by location to see and save user generated photos from Instagram.
Currently on the Instagram app, one can not search photos strictly through locations. You can only search by users or tags.
As our world is getting globalized as a result of technology, it is even easier to connect with people half way around the world than ever before. I was motivated to build a project that would incorporate technology, traveling, and pictures.
Currently, through the Instagram app, photos are only searchable through tags and users. What if I wanted to see what is currently happening in London, UK? or even Cape Town, South Africa?
What better way to discover a location than to find everyday people taking picture at that location? So search away!
