Geotags in images Exifs

[fred-76]

Hello

As I understand, Sharepoint cannot use the geotags embedded in the exifs of the photos. It seems Microsoft stopped that functionality a few years ago. This is a pity and a very poor (stupid?) decision.

It is now very difficult to show on a map where a photo has been taken unless spending a lot of development time to bypass the weak decisions of some clever MS marketing guy behind his cost cutting keyboard.
