We are not going to fix this due to privacy concerns. If in the mobile phone
camera the user has set 'add my location' the gps coordinates will appear in
the EXIF data. I currently am not doing this on my camera so it was not sent.
It seems unfair to ask the user before an upload if they want to send their
location as well - this would give them 2 places to manage that - and that
location is not necessarily correct anyway as the information we do have may be
out of date. We can look it up again but that will slow down the upload
process.

It's worth noting that we can cross reference the photo with the monument to
work out the GPS roughly if need be so we are not necessarily gaining anything
by storing it.
