Hmm. That brings to mind the fact that modern camera's have a GIS system built in -- does the upload form harvest this info?Technically speaking, this is not the coordinates of the monument, but of the viewpoint of the camera, which is often close enough!

Hi to all.

This days I have reviewed the Spanish lists, and I noticed that we don't have a lot of monument's coordinates because It's a hard work and we only have a few people working with this stuff.

Then I have a proposal to get this coordinates from the participants of the contest. I know that the idea in the upload form is to make it simple, but I think that we could add to the form an optional section to introduce this information. This information only needs two entry fields to fill the decimal geocoordinates, the same that are in the lists, and if this information is correctly pointed as optional, I think that it won't increase the complexity of the upload form.

All this only in the case that did not affect to the development in time of the upload form, of course.

I had thought that it could generate a secondary price at some national contest, the person who had geolocalizated more of his photos of monuments that didn't had it before.

But, It's only a proposal...
