{{Location}} should hold the coordinates of the photgraph, not the center of the osm object photographed #57

I geolocated photos taken with the app and it seems as if the {{Location}} is always identical with the center of the osm object photographed. The template should instead hold coordinates found the exif data of the photo. The object center can be perhaps used as a default for {{Object location}} at least if it is a node.

Well, yes, it’s a picture of the building, not of the random spot on the sidewalk, no? I could see this being a thing where each contributor sees it differently, perhaps a toggle or setting to decide?

nah, just record both under the correct template/property

Template	aka	Description	Equivalent property
{{Location}}	{{Camera location}}	point from which the scene depicted by the element is seen	coordinates of the point of view (P1259)
{{Object location}}	{{Globe location}}	coordinates of the place depicted in the work	coordinates of depicted place (P9149)

The coordinate you already have should still go into the latter template. As far as I understand.
