...<br>- Leave the switch between icon-view and preview-view as it is now and make the switch to map view to be a checkable tool button. When the button is checked, the map-view appears. When it is unchecked, the last view activates. This looks more clean and intuitive to me, because when the user will want to see photos on central map, he will just click that button. When he will want to go back to icon-view/preview-view he will uncheck it.<br>

So I'd place a button 'Map view' next to it (between the View and Edit) and this would work just as the 'View' or 'Edit' button. When you 'check' the button, the view/edit is on, when you uncheck it, you're back to icon view. That way seems the best for me as it keeps the UI flow consistent. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, about the image groupping - it would be awesome if the group could ungroup on a click instead of just change the image. Something like Google Earth does. If you click the group, it is expanded in a way that it is divided to smaller groups (if there is enough images, otherwise it's just pictures itselves) placed around the original group position and all is still connected with the original center point and it creates sort of a web. And the expansion/collapsion is fully animated. See Google Earth for seeing it in action ;)</div>
