Support more image formats #13

Images stored in the formats ECW and TIFF can store their geographical data. It would be nice if we could extract such information from those image formats and display them as well. Sadly enough these image formats are not supported by browsers, so displaying these would be very complicated.

Thanks, for bringing up this topic from waze forum to this github, yes that's what i mean.

technically you could translate it into GeoJSON, i think chrome would work with this.

I use orthophoto mozaic from drone for editing waze map that out of coverage or blurry satelitte image from google

As far as I'm aware GeoJSON can only be used for vector data (so points, lines, areas, etc.) and not for imagery. If I'm wrong though: there's already the userscript WME Geometries that supports GeoJSON, so I don't think that would need to be added to this script.
