     @peteriskrisjanis @pixelfed Apple Maps for now (so limited to iOS), but we are looking into OSM support for web and Android!

     @nicksherman @pixelfed You will be able to define precise geojson data or it can be read from the images!

     @dansup @pixelfed Heck yes!🎉 A photo map has been at the top of my Pixelfed wishlist! Can’t wait to see these pizzas mapped: https://pixelfed.social/NickSherman

     I am very curious though: What data is used to place the items on the map? Will you finally start using geotag metadata from uploads? And/or allow location to be set with specific coordinates?

     The current situation for assigning vague/arbitrary/ambiguous place names has left me wanting for more, for several reasons.

     @nicksherman @pixelfed Yes! Also it will be editable from the web/official app and we’ll have an API for this so you can programmatically access your geojson data and public ones too!

     One of my goals is to make it easy to mass assign locations to posts so you can easily organize them, with an added privacy visibility option to limit who you share it with, allowing you to keep the location data private and only visible to you on specific posts!

     Lots of geolocation improvements soon

     @dansup @pixelfed Oh my goodness this is such good news. Thank you so much!

     Does this mean you’ll also use a different method/dataset for determining what place names are shown at the top of each post? And/or maybe the place name will be editable for each post, separate from the geo coordinates?

     @nicksherman @pixelfed Sounds good, will reach out when its shipped!

     I appreciate your feedback, and tbh its crucial to feature development.

     Pixelfed is people powered, and it's quite unique to have a platform like ours that prioritizes user feedback to this degree

     I can't wait for your feedback once we ship this, there are so many possibilities with a feature like this, for example, being able to see Nearby Posts could bring a whole new dimension, locality!!

     Let's keep in touch 😁

     @dansup @pixelfed I am so happy to hear all of this and will anxiously await the new updates! I’m already in the TestFlight program for the iOS app but if you want anyone to do even earlier testing for the app (or web interface) please let me know.
