Map with the locations of the images

[StevePirateX]

Add a map view (selectable of either satellite/street/hybrid map) with markers of all the images to see where they all are in relation with each other using the GPS information.

That are actually two requests: The layers and the positions.

The only thing though is: why? I understand that it would be nice to have such an overview, but what is the usefulness?
If all images already have GPS positions and you can nicely show them on a map to follow your travel/hike/etcetera, than what is next? Only vieuwing them? Or adding other metadata, and based on what?
Please explain (apart from the nice overview which I understand).

You can perform a quality check on a set of images to make sure they are geolocated without going through each one.
I've done some flights with drones and have had some images occasionally not work properly and having the whole map as an overview really helps ensuring everything is there in one snapshot.
I've made a very basic version in java but using jMapViewer (not jxMapViewer) (see image below) of which I can share the source code as I have a this similar idea of objective of an application but without all the editing functionality that you have at this stage. It's mainly checking where it is on the map, viewing the image, and viewing the EXIF data to make sure it all looks alright.

I understand that it's pretty specific and not a general use case but could be used to get an overview of locations of images.
Hope that makes more sense.
