I have ~70GB of images and an unusable Mapillary app - documenting my woes at [Page not found](http://mapillary.trydiscourse.com/t/bugreport-latest-ios-app-crashing) .

If I’d get all the Mapillary data to the computer _without_ adding EXIF tags beforehand (because the app crashes, eh), is there a way to properly upload images with mapillary\_tools still?  
The GPX file is there, so information seems to be available. Preferably, I could avoid scripting or otherwise processing it all outside of mapillary\_tools.

There is software available that matches up gpx and imagery, if I understood your question. Eg Geosetter, GeoTag

Yeah, I’ve used gpsPhoto.pl before.  
Was hoping for something simple and requiring one tool only.  
That would still be of limited use because of [Page not found](http://mapillary.trydiscourse.com/t/transferring-individual-sequences-from-iphone/4200) , hope to find a solution for that one.
