Exif data normally stores the data in longitude and latitude. So we need to convert that data into a physical address. Most popular solution would be to use the google maps api. https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/. They give about 200 usd per month free credit. Which should be good enough for our use case.

This looks like a good plan for us. We can cache the results to save on requests.

In the future if a more open project like Open Street Maps improves I could see us making the switch. Just so our open source project isn't built upon closed source. But, this feature isn't a core functionality of this project, so I don't think it's a huge concern.
