GPS Location for each photo

Hi, not sure if it has been suggested before. It would be great if the map for each photo will show the actual location of the photo, if the photo has GPS infor. Currently I believe it only shows the area tagged when the page/article was created, or at least from what I see.

I just joined fotopedia, and was surprised not to find this information being exposed when going to the map from a photo page.  If I click on one of my photos taken in Pisa I see a green arrow in the centre of the town which I guess is from geotagging information from the article on wikipedia.  If I zoom in I also see a few other pins locating the position of what i guess to be other wikipedia articles.  It would be nice to see another type of pin indicating the location of the camera that took the photo from which you came to the map, with a small picture to identify it, perhaps.

I think it can also be useful occasionally to ensure that a photo is relevant to an article, eg. a photo of Santa Maria della Spina with a geotag from somewhere else in Italy may help people decide whether the photo is relevant to the article about that church.

@Moonie: yes, put that in my EXIF request but it's a bit hidden there...
