How about installing PHP exif module?

[gucu]

Sorry that was obvious wasn't it! Installed and working but I only have 1 contact showing on the map and no photos nearly 24 hours later. Is that expected please?

@gucu hehe :D The error message could be a bit more descriptive though, feel free to open an issue about it in the server at https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues

Not sure about the issue that still remains – @tacruc would a rescan be needed?

[gucu]

The issue has gone as maps is now working. The slowness of scanning might simply be the server and resources it has available. 1 day on I now 8 of my contacts scanned some gps maps but no photos, it does look like it will be a long time. I hope at some point to upgrade to my own server one day until then I will allow it to trundle on. There is limited documentation available and I would be happy to help with this side of things. How do I go about signing up to help please? @tacruc @jancborchardt

@gucu to help, simply check where there’s the biggest stumbling blocks in the flow. :) Documentation is good, and what would be even better if we iron out the issues leaving people clueless.

Opening up issues for that is the first good step, so we can see what needs fixing.
