You have the option of using the built-in Apple Maps thumbnail to show on your photo. There is no customisation to this; it’s set to streetmap view, and the zoom level cannot be changed.
Alternatively, you can download the companion shortcut which lets you use Google Maps instead. Here, you can choose the map type and zoom level.
Optional detail can be added to the thumbnail: date & time, long/lat coordinates, altitude, bearing and location name (city, county/state, country).
Thumbnail can be S/M/L/XL and placed in any of the 4 corners of the image.
Google Maps thumbnails require a Google Maps API key. See here for more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/9qyh6y/comment/e9btn0h?st=JO9BO28N&sh=a0c47891
