    Google Map and Geotagging

    Unless I am missing something, there is no way for Shozam to automatically geocode images that have the lat/long info imbedded into to EXIF file.

    It is quite suprising to me that Shozam will not automatically look at the selected pictures in an album to see if there is there is a lat/long imbedded in the image and then automatically use that information instead of requiring a manual entry.

    Every image has an EXIF file and standard to that file are several GPS data fields including latitude, longitude, heading, altitude, etc.  How hard could it be to have the map module look at the EXIF file to see if there is an entry there and then use it if it is there?  I know that Google maps is not one of the hottest features of shozam, but if you are going to have it, should it not at least be functional  and efficient for those that want to or need to use it.
