MS Fotos App: How to find photos via a map

Hi, I hope this question hasn't been answered 100 times already, but I searched for a while and didn't find it. The question is simple: I have imported lots (thousands) of photographs into OneDrive and many of them have been indexed by the MS Photo app. However, when I try to find the pictures I would very much like to use a map, just like (sorry to say) I do on my iPhone (and I'm sure Google Photos is able to do the same). However, I can't find where to do this. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Thanks!

Windows 10, Microsoft Fotos 2021.21090.10008.0

Thank you for your quick answer! I installed the app, however, it's in the right direction but not fully what I'm looking for:

- it seems it does not work in the cloud but only with photos downloaded onto the local machine - difficult with approx. 100k Photos

- it does not show actual pictures, only the icon of a photograph on the map

- it seems like it cannot be installed on mobile devices (iPhone, in my case)

Correct? Is there another solution or did I overlook some kind of configuration option?

Thanks,

Stephan
