Prior to Instagram removing the Photo Map feature last year, I was able to upload my geotagged images to Instagram and it'll be displayed on the map. Even if I don't select a location in Instagram, the Photo Map will use the embedded GPS coordinates in the EXIF to determine where the picture will show up on the map. Since I didn't select the actual location in Instagram and now that the Photo Map have been removed, I don't see any way to see the locations in any of those photos. Why is that the case?

For the "why" you would need to ask Instagram/Facebook. (We are not them, just users like you.)

Lots of pictures get tagged with their location between the username and the photo. How much automation is used to read the GPS coordinates and auto-fill the text, I don't know.
