Geotagged images taken out on surveys taken close together do not show seperately in JOSM

[davecorley@…]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Take some images with OSMTracker (for example) within a few feet of each other
2. Load GPX with images into JOSM
3. Click on image icons

What is the expected result?

All images should show as a clickable icon in JOSM

What happens instead?

As some images are taken close together on the ground, not all show up in the JOSM window.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

I am attaching a screenshot of a GPX trace where I took 22 images, but only 10 icons show up in JOSM.

I have uploaded this GPX trace and associated images to a dropbox folder so anyone can load it up to get a better understanding of the issue.

The dropbox folder is located here - ​https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wuu0wtzrzpb5bnq/AABwqslEEcW-Rjf7nq0On4I_a?dl=0

Please attach the GPX file as well.

GPX file as requested

I've attached the GPX file as requested, wasnt sure if you wanted the images that go with it. Note, this is already linked above to a dropbox folder

I can't upload the images as it would take hours on my connection. Please pull from the linked dropbox folder

The photos are displayed according to their coordinates. You need to zoom in to see them at different locations. You have the same issue with nodes that are close together. But we could display a number to indicate that there is more than one photo if they overlap e.g. more than 90%.

Replying to holgermappt:

The photos are displayed according to their coordinates. You need to zoom in to see them at different locations. You have the same issue with nodes that are close together. But we could display a number to indicate that there is more than one photo if they overlap e.g. more than 90%.

That would probably work. Something along the lines of how clustering works in leaflet maybe?

[holgermappt]

Right, some kind of clustering would be necessary to decide where to place the object number. Something like this: ​https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/utility/marker-clustering (see the image example at the end of that page).
It's also possible that multiple images have the exact same coordinates. Then it would be good to add an artificial offset for the display such that they don't overlap on high zoom levels. Or a spiderfier like here: ​https://github.com/jawj/OverlappingMarkerSpiderfier, maybe in combination with clustering.
I'm not aware that JOSM supports something like that and to implement it would be quite some effort.
