Security Issue - Posting Photos From GPS Enabled Devices

Recommended Posts

This is a way to turn off the information on your iPhone photos.

In the settings, (read below), by checking "allow location access" to "Never"

it keeps the location information from being recorded.

(I'd like to see if a photo taken with the "Never" settings and then run through the program that Steve has, still has the location information in it.)

"…If the idea of storing your location with each and every photo creeps you out, then you can easily turn off this geotagging feature by going to Location Services in the settings. Tap on Settings > Privacy > Location Services and then scroll down to the Camera app to make sure it is toggled off as shown above. When you turn off geotagging, it only applies to photos taken after you have turned off the location feature. Earlier photos will still keep their location data, so you will have to manually remove the location information before you share those photos."

 The camera fits nicely in the scoop of the detector truck that SS gave me for Christmas.

I do have trouble getting photos out of my vacuum tubed, wooden cased computer. SS tried and couldn't make it work either. El Dorado had it working for me a couple of years ago but I have either forgotten what he showed me or something has changed.

  I miss not being able to post pictures. If I could, when you folks say I'm full of B.S. I could post photos to prove it.

Klunker,

 

Take your photos, get them developed however you do it

and then take a shot of them with your smartphone and post them on the website…

(half joking).

 My smartphone takes two 6V dry cell batteries and has a rotary dial and it's a real pain to stretch out the antenna and wind it back up every time I use it. You folks are going to force me to step into the digital age.  sorta wish I had a ten year old grand kid.
