Comment:

 Thanks for the refresh, @Mte90.

 I am moving this to the Media component to get better visibility. This is
 similar to some other enhancements that have been worked on recently for
 media. I will also mention this ticket in the next component meeting to
 get more eyes on it.

 The patch works as expected. There are just a few minor coding standards
 issues with [attachment:9257.4.diff] that should be fixed (See
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-
 standards/php/#space-usage). The test image also needs to be attached to
 the ticket.

 I do have a question regarding the GPS precision, though. I did some
 researching and it seems that 6 points of precision is the practical limit
 of commercial surveying, and anything over that is only used for tectonic
 plate mapping. Should we trim numbers, or just allow whatever precision is
 calculated? I assume that mobile devices will not have better than 3-5
 points of precision.

 I think it would be great to add this support for video, and maybe audio
 as well. These will require separate tickets though.
