Objections
Geocoding is a hard-coded list of about 40 cities, not a real geocoding service
From 1 comment
Was curious what was being used for geocoding, but it is just a hard-coded list of ~40 cities with their lat/longs. These seem to be the most generous (free) geocoding api's…

Requests
Use it for live camera feeds like EarthCam or Insecam

Looks similar to the iOS/macOS photos app Might be neat for a service like Earthcam or Insecam, or packaged as an electron app to view folders of photos by EXIF location.
