Geo-tagging - PLEASE READ

[YHB]

The Llama was put up as an example early on. During the sanitising of the pictures that were on HD at the time, all the Geotagging data on the Llama and the other pictures was deleted.

If you go to this website http://regex.info/exif.cgiyou will be able to interrogate any picture either on your hard drive or on the web. If those pictures have geotagging information then a map will appear and take you the location that the picture was taken.

Many thanks for the headsup YHB

Hate to say this but my assumption is they already know who we are.

Many entities are already monitoring every kind of social network forum you could think of.

You may be correct, "they" may know. But there is a difference, here you are telling the whole world ... Lets not incite needless paranoia... Think of it more along the lines of any pervert being able to figure out where your daughter plays based on your publicly posted pictures of her rather than whether the federal government can figure it out...

If you think that this simple precation is not worth considering, when you next submit a picture would you add the caption, "This is a picture of my still it was taken at ... add address here ....... that is what geotagging data does.

OK, lets test this, (cause I can't see any "location data" from using the website)....

Here's a picture, tell me where it was taken ..............

OK, I re-read the info, looked at lots of pics I have taken with diff cameras and robbed off the
internet, none have a map, etc, etc.......
But I realize, it's probably coming soon ................

This link does not work, http://regex.info/exif.cgi check photo on local disk.

You wont see any location data with this picture - the photograph was taken with an OLYMPUS SZ-10 camera, this type of camera does not have GPS capabilities.

The Meta Data file contains lots of information in this "test".

If it had been taken with a GPS camera or phone and the Geotagging facility was switched on, I would have neen able to provide a map as well.

Try google images and search for "geotagged pictures" http://www.google.co.uk/search?num=10&hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&q=geotagged+pictures&oq=geotagged+pictures&gs_l=img.12..0i24.2812.7875.0.10250.18.18.0.0.0.0.203.1390.16j1j1.18.0.eiatsh..0.0.c-Ne71wzh8c&biw=1289&bih=432&sei=3tPtT43TKuea1AWu5MXgDQ

That's all the info you got from that pic? I thought there would be more.

[big cheese]

Maybe i am missing something. I went into my phones setting. there is a button that says Geot-tag photos and you have to click it to turn off. but when i go to download/file.php?id=15171&mode=view and open any of the photos from my phone I do not get any maps showing where the location of the picture was taken. Can anyone explain this?

Thanks

Save the some photos that were taken on your phone while you have the geotagging enabled - save them on your desktop.

open this link

http://regex.info/exif.cgi

Click the browse button next to the "Local Image File" box and navigate to the pictures you have saved, then press "view image from file"

This will then open a window and allow you to read all the attached metadata, if the metadata contains latitude and longitude then it will show you the location in a window with a map.

This works on my windows PC if you are using a Mac, your phone,I-pad - sorry I cannot help you.

Hmmmmmmph ! ! !

[big cheese]

yhb,

My droid phone does not have an option to turn it on. Just turn it off. but using your link it does not show me my latitude and longitude.

strange.
