Filter Slideshow content by geolocation #129

Open andyfrei opened 4 years ago

andyfrei commented 4 years ago

Hey guys Any plans towards adding a geolocation filter? Like

Or even having an option to create a simple boundary in a map and show only pictures taken within or outside that boundary?

Unfortunately this is much harder than it sounds. The problem is that every request to resolve a GPS coordinate to an Address object (which also includes the country) goes to Google servers and is bandwidth-limited. So I can't simply take a list of photos and rapidly resolve their addresses in hopes to filter the photos out, since that would most probably cause Google blocking my app from performing a GPS resolve.

Theoretically I could cache the resolved country for every photo, but the initial population of the database would be problematic - I would need to avoid rapid resolving yet somehow quickly show something.

In short, I'm not sure whether I can implement such a feature... unless there is a library that can convert GPS to country name quickly and offline. Since the country borders do not change that often :-D it could very well be possible. Let me check :-p

I'll be damned, there is such a library: https://github.com/bencampion/reverse-country-code :-D

That could work, but only for countries. There is no such (offline) library for cities.
