A friend of mine passed away last year and I use a domain named after her as a small memorial, sally.pro. I just gave it a LOC record pointing to a bench in the park that we adopted for her.
But, yeah, even in other Anglophone countries I've visited there haven't been as many memorial benches.
If you've walked a costal path and taken a dozen photos, are you really going to remember where each one was?
Every phone for the last decade has geotagging built in to its camera app. Relying on EXIF is the easiest way for us to ensure the map is broadly accurate.
GPS locations are simple to look up on, for example, Google Maps--I just click my mouse at the place where I know the bench I took a picture of is located. My memory of where it is is not at all fallible since it's a memorial bench for my parents just down the street from the house where they used to live. I could easily enter the GPS coordinates from Google Maps into your site if your site would allow me to.

But your site is not for uploading random photos people take on walks. It is for uploading pictures of memorial benches. The locations of those are much more likely to be remembered by the people who want to upload the pictures, accurately enough to get GPS coordinates in the way I described above.

I've only had my phone a few years and the photos I have of the bench I wanted to upload are not geotagged. I know that because your site told me so when I tried to upload them.
It took a while, with emails going unanswered for long periods at times.
