I had this idea where you would see realtime photos on a map, right now this is simply using cat pics, not sure where to take it from here but maybe it's useful to someone. :)

Looks similar to the iOS/macOS photos app

Might be neat for a service like Earthcam or Insecam, or packaged as an electron app to view folders of photos by EXIF location.

Was curious what was being used for geocoding, but it is just a hard-coded list of ~40 cities with their lat/longs.

These seem to be the most generous (free) geocoding api's

Forward geocoding (location name to lat/long)

- Open Meteo 10,000/day: https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/geocoding-api

Reverse geocoding (lat/long to location name)

- OpenWeatherMap 1,000,000/month: https://openweathermap.org/api/geocoding-api

- Also has forward geocoding; seems more comprehensive than Open Meteo DB.
