Use case Photos are handy for inserting details in OSM. However, in some scenarios, the photos are not clear enough to identify where the camera is pointing, and correctly perform the changes on the map.

Proposed Solution As part of the image, it would be interesting to show the direction and the angle of the photo. For example, with this photo, I knew where the user was pointing with the cell phone because there was only one construction next to the location of the note. But if there were a building instead of a park on the other side of the street, the photo would not help me to place the hydrants.

Agreed, it would be nice.
