SUMMARY
Remove any existing Place tree before to write a new one with Reverse Geolocation tool.

This is needed in case of change of GPS coordinates of the picture or in case of modifications in the setting of the OSM items taken in account for the tree.

I am not sure if we have to do it even if 'Write to tags' is unset

We also need to consider the workflow of other users. These have handmade location information in their images that we cannot simply delete. OpenStreetMap also doesn't have good address data in all parts of the world. The current intention is to merge location metadata (template).

You can previously run the function to remove templates, which removes all location metadata, but also other address data.

You are right.

An easier way would be an option 'replace existing Place tree' (unset by default).
