Description

Describe the feature you'd like to request

hi there,
love the app, works great, but we have a tons of pictures from before phones/cameras with gps tagging, which is a pity as the pics don't show up on the map, which we love using with our pics. Recognize identifies some of the locations in the pictures, is there any way it could look up the gps locations of the recognized place and add it to that picture/the pictures that are missing a gps tag somehow?

Describe the solution you'd like

it would be good to have a solution that can handle masses of pictures, not sure, maybe just simple exiftool to add gps coordinates via cli to pic

Describe alternatives you've considered

i don't think there is an alternative, well maybe me going one by one through the pictures, looking up the location gps coordinates on the web and adding them manually?
