Replace reverse geocoder
Version: 45.3
I have a photo with lat/lng coordinates of 52.1093,-2.32837. This is clearly in the town of Great Malvern.
This shows in Image Viewer as Staverton, United Kingdom
. I can see that this location information comes from querying libgweather
in gps.rs. Libgweather tries to only get cities with an airport so that it can get weather readings. This will probably be why medium sized towns aren't included and it looks and feels wrong in the photo viewer.
My proposal is that we move to this reverse_geocoder. I have tried this out with a few photos that currently show odd names and it is giving me back much better results. For example for the above coordinates I get back Great Malvern, England, Worcestershire, GB
I'd be happy to do this myself but I've been unable to build Image Viewer from source. Builder just freezes on me and the only other thing I've thought of trying is cargo run
. If I could get any help to get past this, then I'd be happy to work on it.
