### Problem

Hi,
when i get location from the image using probably the most popular CLI tool which is the exiftool like that:
```
exiftool IMG_8109.JPG | grep 'GPS Position'
GPS Position                    : 55 deg 58' 24.28" N, 37 deg 24' 41.70" E
```
i am getting an output in fairly readable format, but when i search for it on https://www.openstreetmap.org/ nothing can be found.
I was thinking whether i should go straight for a github, but in the essence i think that's what open-source projects should be working like.

### Description

So my idea is to support the exiftool location format. I was also considering to put the request in my personal text file to come back straight with a pull request, but i got used to luxuries of having an issue request tracker so i decided to put it in open. I would appreciate any comments describing why is this not a good idea before i start to implement that myself.
Thanks!
