Is there any online tool where I can upload a photo that doesn't contain GPS data in the EXIF metadata, but gives me an estimate of the location that the photo was taken from - e.g. not just identifying the Eiffel Tower but also whereabouts I was standing when I took it. I'd love to be able to enrich my older photos with reasonably accurate GPS location - or at least a '95% chance that the photo was taken within 500m of this point'.


If you have Google Spying active you could get your location (or the location of your smartphone) at that time.

I'd also be interested in such a service. Sounds hard tough if you don't have lots of pictures to correlate to.


there is this: https://twitter.com/whereml. Another option is to use something like GPT which might have sufficient understanding of some of the objects... But I think unless you have some very memorable objects like eiffel tower or big ben it will be very rough.. E.g. a picture of a beach will be impossible yet this system might put it somewhere... So I would be a bit worried about trying to automate it..
