This position is untenable. Have you tried to geotag any
significant amount of images that way? You cannot accurately
measure the latitude and longitude of the object you are
capturing. It might be quite large. Or it might be two different
objects at different locations (another building in the foreground
and the Eiffel tower far behind). The only sustainable policy is
to register the point position of the photographer and, if
possible, the pointing direction of the lens. If you want to find
photos of the Eiffel tower, you need to search for photos that are
tagged in a surrounding region.
