semi-related... here's a quickie one-off app I wrote to snag the geodata off of an image in order to process/tag photos[1].  It wasn't hard at all to grab the geolocation from camera images that add it.

It's doing the data capture server-side in a React application using the exif package[2].  If I did it again, might have taken the extra time to make it into a full electron based application, instead of requiring a local node server.  Worked for the needs in place though.

Very cool. I tried this approach too, and while there are exif libraries that make extracting the data a breeze, I've found that devices don't tag photos consistently, and a lot of people don't give their camera location access.
