Here is an example of an animated heat map.

You will need a Google Maps API Key. You can get one here or try "developer mode" by using it without a key.
This is a large shortcut so you might want to learn how to use the new scroll features on iOS 13 to make installation quicker.
Additional documentation is available in the shortcut.

Tips: Heat maps work best with a large number of photos in a small geographic area. Try limiting your search with GPS coordinates. It's faster and more accurate than using city and location names.
