I'm setting up a new gallery with a lot of images that are geotagged. What I'm discovering, though, is that while the GPS locations are accurate, the direction info usually is not. On top of that, the apps that I use tend to only expose correction of the latitude/longitude, not of the direction, so it's a difficult problem to fix for large numbers of photos.
I'd be happy for the photo's map to simply not show the direction, but I don't see any simple way to disable it beyond hacking the JavaScript myself (which would not survive an upgrade).
Would you accept a PR to expose something like "Ignore GPS direction" as a setting?
Alternately, and maybe solving a more general problem: is there some way to create an exclusion list of EXIF tags so that the import process could treat the photo as if it does not have those tags?
EDIT: I have a PR ready to go that does the simpler version of this (just adding a config flag to not use the direction data in the embedded map), but not sure how you prefer to handle it since it's properly two PRs, one to this repo and another to
