Understood.

Absolutely! And thankyou so much for adding it, and so quickly. I really
appreciate it.

For sure. I tried a (Windows only) app called GeoTagNinja, and that uses
ArcGIS, which then required an API key.

Yep, thanks for that, had already seen it. I just thought a configurable option
to "launch a URL" and % formatting args would be useful.

Ok, totally understood and agree.

It would be for me. Being able to see the satellite landmarks when trying to
manually tag photos would be useful (just to know if I'm "in the ballpark" so
to speak). Which led me to thinking about launching a URL, ie. to go to the
feature-rich Google Maps, where I can then toggle sat view, go to street view
etc to check a landmark.
