Some Places cannot be mapped for privacy reasons. Places like homes and elementary schools.
To avoid having unmappable Places be sure to accurately name the place. The Beach is too general, whereas Zuma Beach is specific and mappable.

Not sure what place you are at within a city?
Enter "@@ City Name" after your caption to avoid entering a Place name.

Never put one @ symbol and the city name. This confuses the location system by entering a City as a Place.
When using an unmappable place name try to keep the variety to a minimum. Use the same name for locations you frequent such as home or backyard.
How to add Places & Locations to a photo
Adding a location to your photo is a great way to take maximize your BeenUp2 experience. With locations you can view a Google Map of your day/week/month, see who else gets coffee at your favorite cafe, or check out where your friends have been. It's a simple process, we'll show you how right now!
Let's begin with some terminology.
Place - a setting within a city, for example: Restaurants, Cafes, Clubs, Movie Theaters, the Beach.
Location - City / State / Province / Country

Adding a "place" to a photo requires one simple symbol. The "@" symbol.

In your account settings you set your default City / State / Country. This means every photo you send in with a "place" automaticaly puts that place in your default location unless you say otherwise.
See the example below

Let's say you live in Los Angeles but send in a photo of yourself buying a 128 pack of toliet paper at Costco in Sacramento. The caption would be:
Stocking up for the winter @ Costco @ Sacramento
This is how it would look.

Places on BeenUp2 easiest to understand if you think of it as looking at a map at street level, then zooming out with every "@".
@ Place @ City @ State or @ In-N-Out @ Chicago @ Illinois
@ Place @ City @ State or @ In-N-Out @ Chicago @ Illinois
Now that you have a better understanding of Places & Locations learn how to send in photos of a place on the go. We'll use Target in El Dorado Hills as an example. First snap the picture of the Place, then send it to your @beenup2.com e-mail address with the title:
place @ Target @ El Dorado Hills
This sends the photo to the BeenUp2 location system associating it to that Place. This photo will not be posted to the public feed.
place @ Target @ El Dorado Hills
This sends the photo to the BeenUp2 location system associating it to that Place. This photo will not be posted to the public feed.
