Oh! I was recently phone shopping and thinking about the Sony Experia phone because it's supposed to have a great camera - but I couldn't get my hands on one in a store to take a look at it, see what kind of bloatware Sony adds, etc. So I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S21.

I don't let it tag my photos, but what you're describing sounds interesting; in the past I've documented spots near and along local landmarks to photograph and add to the old Panoramio layer of Google Earth. (For example: the year-round creek that runs through my backyard is a tributary to the Trinity River, that feeds into the Gulf of Mexico. I've tracked it through town and photographed from different parks and roadway bridges.) I haven't added anything since the new Earth iteration merged and removed Panoramio (my photos are still in there somewhere), but the thought does occasionally occur that I could resume that activity. Having the GPS embedded would be helpful, assuming Google doesn't scrape it out of the metadata.
