The issue is it’s going to be trained only on places people go. My understanding is that most geolocating systems are more focused on the uncommon or less traveled locations. Maybe I’m wrong, but I guess they’re probably tested it out before announcing it.
What do we need this for? Not clear what it does
Seems to be a tool for taking an image and Geo-locating it, even in cases where other sources of data like Googles street map cars are insufficient.

Maybe they will start/already have putting pokemon in locations that they need data for to make a more comprehensive map.
Seems questionably reliable as an independent system. Maybe could help refine more traditional systems? Not sure I understand a use case for this.
It definitely has applications in defense/Intel spaces. Knowing where a photo was taken can be really useful info.
