Research direction

Start by tracing how mapillary_image_description.json and JPG images are handled by the command-line tool, then identify the image metadata path used for GPS information. Done means GPS coordinates from the JSON are written into the JPG images and the result can be checked before upload.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Can use GoPro video to generate mapillary_image_description.json, but there's no way to tag actual images with GPS coordinates, please add this feature.

Could be very handy to write geotags from mapillary_image_description.json into the JPG images, to simplify the organizational process:

  • in case i misplace .json - images will have the necessary geodata.
  • i walk trails and i want to upload trail data, sometimes i go wrong way and have to turn back then i get double images for same parts of the trail, if there are GPS tags inside images i can check my trail before i upload and delete duplicate images.
