I have not described anything except a missing feature. I've not
proposed a solution at this moment. I just see that if we implement a
way to remove the geo-data we might want to restore them without loosing
work already done on this image.

One possibility which come to mind is to bind a key (and just a key as
this is not a very common action) to restore the geo-tag. This key will
be only available from the filmtrip in the map view.

So from a user point of view we would have:

1. drag from filmstrip to map to add geo-tag to image

2. move image on the map to change the geo-tag

3. drag image back to filmstrip to remove geo-tag
   (or over a trash bin, nothing decided yet)

4. use ctrl-r to restore geo-tag

(last two points are not implemented at this moment).

At least that's what I'd like to have at the minimum as a user of the
map module.

Now for point 4 we have to consider all scenario:

- geo-tag into the image

- geo-tag added from a gpx file

Reapplying the gpx file would be a pain as it will also restore geo-tag
for all corresponding images. That's why I have hinted the possibility
to keep intact initial geo-tag information (coming from RAW, jpg or as
imported by a gpx file).

Probably more difficult for us developer to get right, but would
probably be welcomed by our users.

My 2 cents!
