iPhone 4 - Not all Photos Show up on Places Map

I have around 2500 photos on my camera roll. Of these 2500, only around 700 show up. They only show up in one region which is where I live. I've taken photos in other states, and they don't show up. Any idea why? It's really bugging me, I love the Places feature but mine doesn't work correctly!
Thanks!

iPhone 4, iOS 4

The geotagging, as far as I understand it, was only recently added to the camera app on the iPhone. It sounds like the other pics you have may not have any geo tags for places to work with.

Also, the more you zoom into the map, the more pinpoints it shows and the more granular the refinement for pin placement.

I went on a trip just 2 days ago and my photos from that state won't show up. Strange, it just seems like some random photos show up while others don't.

could it be that I had location services off at the time certain photos were taken?

That will do it. The location is needed for geotagging.

I have an iphone 3G-S and I'm having this same problem. I've taken photos in different states, but it will not show were I've taken photos in all of the states. What can I do to fix this problem?
