Personally, I think OSM is *more* likely to have the datapoint of a building. If it does, that's […]

Agora, o Google remove as informações de GPS das imagens antes de enviar elas para qualquer site
Isso é ótimo para questões de privacidade
Isso é péssimo para questões de registro (ex, para a Wikimedia Commons)
Isso é pior ainda porque o Google não avisou da mudança

@Edent @summerbeth @openbenches sorry, no luck. Apparently they reneged on her lifetime subscription and converted it to digital only (which she couldn’t access, which was a whole other annoyance).

@Edent @summerbeth @openbenches my mum used to get it, although I haven’t seen any copies lying around for a while, so maybe they converted her subscription to digital. I’ll ask her.

how annoying!
I know Terence struggled a bit with this sort of thing because OpenBenches would like to have exif data if possible for geoloc and similar, so if there are workarounds he may know them?
