When you do a Google takeout, I believe it doesn't save the geolocation data to the file's exif but to a separate json file. You'll need to run some tools to apply the data to the exif

sure. I have used my own program for the upload. I haven't done any special handling on GPS coordinates. Most of them are correct in Immich, so I conclude that most of takout images have GPS positions, and Immich can read them Another point: immich reads GPS position in the background. I took some time to have all positions
