<p>I had trouble with map view as well. <br>
</p>
<p>Alan H kindly replied to my query with the following which solved
it for me, hope it helps you as well -</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">As a new user of digiKam myself my initial
intuition to this feature was the same, and somewhat frustrating.
BUT, I did find the answer in the user manual. Using digiKam 6.2.0
in Windows 10…</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">-the left sidebar map has 2 rows of
icons/buttons below it (11 & 3 – make sure pane is
sufficiently wide).</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">-second row of 3 is labelled “Search by
area:” – full rectangle; half rectangle; “X” button</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">-you must select either the full or half
rectangle</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">-if digiKam opens with the full rectangle
selected and you click on a marker/thumbnail nothing happens</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">-with the full rectangle selected you must
create a frame around the markers you want – click/release, drag,
click.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">-creates a blue rectangle around selected
markers and displays thumbnails in center preview pane.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">-clicking on half rectangle lets you click on
just one marker/thumbnail to display its contents in the preview
pane.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">-clicking on “x” deselects selection but not
the actual icon/button.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Maybe not intuitively obvious but after
getting used to it, it works well, for me anyway. Hope this helps.
Anybody more experienced please correct if wrong.</p>
