I’m not sure if Glide keeps the exif location data of an image when it’s uploaded. You might try this:

Set the URL of the image, then it will save in the column you select here as JSON: Use this prompt: Variables : - imageUrl - exifData \<html style="height: auto !important; --color-accent: 215deg 99% 28%;" class="color-scheme-auto"\>\<head\> \<link rel="preload" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&amp;display=swap" as="style"\> \<link rel="styleshee…

Assuming this means user can post all images in their library, not just newly taken photos, I think the alternative is having them type out the location, though it’s not user-friendly.

Yeah, you should try the AI component to see if it can help. I vaguely remember Glide removing some data from the EXIF upon uploading but I’m not sure.
