Awesome! Then the next step is trying to use them somehow, while keeping in mind Tomasz' point, i.e. those coordinates could be far away. I really don't like the idea of putting the burden of GIS coordinates on the uploader, unless this EXIF feature is there already. I think the upload form needs to recognize this and ask if those coordinates can be used for the object or better for the camera, or something like that
