Description

Thanks a lot for this useful tool. I would like to suggest a new feature.
I would like to have an option to disable the grouping of photos in the map.

I want to fix GPS coordinates stored in images. The Google camera app on Android smartphones has an annoying “feature“ — if it doesn't have a good GPS signal yet, it just uses rough WIFI-based estimated coordinates instead of just leaving the EXIF values empty. I live in an area with a big harbour, having a wide area WiFi network, so if Google “sees“ that WiFi it put's coordinates in the EXIF tags that are multiple kilometers “off“.

Other apps don't store any coordinates in that case, so that images are easily identified and can be corrected manually. But I'd like to stay with the otherwise great Google GCam.

I was searching for a tool that displays one marker per each image. It would be great to have that feature.

This screenshot illustrates my problem. Two images are clearly “off track“, but those are difficult to find between all other files, because they have coordinates, but obviously on the wrong side of the river.

Hello @joergRossdeutscher

Thanks for your explanation about your issue.
I guess the option to disable grouping can be added.

The grouping feature is introduced because the ungrouped pins often overlap with each other and are not easy to use.
Therefore, it will be an option that is disabled by default but available for an advanced user like you.

I'm currently quite busy with my personal life and won't be able to take time for a while, so please don't expect it to be implemented soon.
