<title>Anonymize Times</title>
Thus the timestamps themselves will no longer reveal exactly when a track was taken.
However the relative difference between the timestamps is kept thus one is still able to calculate some properties such as speeds along the track.

-Images need to have an EXIF DATE_TIME_ORIGINAL (nearly always set by a camera). This timestamp is then used to find the location when the image(s) was taken by searching through the track(s) to find the nearest time - interpolating between points if necessary to set the location.
