Removing all gps features

So in summary:

While this is not a bad feature, few people seem to use it in its current incarnation, and other apps also seem to have trouble implementing it.
So I'll rip it out and good riddance :)

What would be neat would be

a) for us to document on the website different ways to collect GPS data
b) for us to figure out which file formats we can open  on device without running into yet another permission nightmare (as opening files is also becoming insanely restrictive on both platforms)
c) subsequent to (b), for is to be able to extract GPS data from such files

Because fewer and fewer people are ok with being told "just use the cloud and do this on the desktop"...
