Jan, I don't have a camera that does this, so I can't test it, but do I understand from this that the EXIF info automatically gets stuffed into a Template:Location (camera location) field as it stands now? Because that way for the countries who have their act together with the GIS coordinates (like the Netherlands, Ahem!) we should do nothing, and then for the countries who are missing coordinates, we can have a bot move this info into Template:Object location and dump it into a category "GIS coordinates for XXX monuments under review" or some such thing Jane
