Just wanted to mention here (as gopro 7 doesn’t seem to have this): I noticed my gopro hero 9 does seem to save exif data to the images from the timelapse photo mode.

Do you notice if it saves the camera angle also? Many GoPros always are showing “0 degrees” as the camera angle by default
(Keep in mind, this is from the photo timelapse mode)
(also keep in mind that I haven’t used this gopro for mapillary purposes yet (only for taking pictures of litter, mounted on a grabberstick))
This is an example of the exiff data from one of the images:

Forgot to say: so the camera this time was on auto rotation mode iirc (it locks itself once the timelapse starts)
But it does list it in both modes in the exiff:
