Well, the EXIF coordinates I believe the bot put
in a Template:Location
(that's for camera location). The monuments themselves should be mapped
towards Template:Object location.
If we already have the locations for the monuments, then the user should
only need to worry about what monument was photographed and we should work
some magic in the background to poulate the object location template.

Awesome! Then the next step is trying to use them
somehow, while keeping
in mind Tomasz' point, i.e. those coordinates could be far away. I really
don't like the idea of putting the burden of GIS coordinates on the
uploader, unless this EXIF feature is there already. I think the upload form
needs to recognize this and ask if those coordinates can be used for the
object or better for the camera, or something like that
