The bug

This is especially visible in Rome, where almost all photos are described as Vatican City, and are even a few kilometers away. For example, a photo from inside the Pantheon:

@zackpollard commented on GitHub (Mar 10, 2025):

Your photos are taken closer to the vatican city than rome, and right now our reverse geocoding is based entirely based off distance from the closest place. Vatican city is probably one of the worst cases as it's right near the center of Rome, so likely most photos will be misplaced in this situation. We have improvements planned for this, but they are currently on hold.

It's not a particularly annoying inconvenience. I was just curious about the reason.
