Fish photos with gps info

Bruce, on the iPhone, you just go into settings, click on privacy and then turn off location setting for camera and any other features you don't want it used for.

All electronic devices that take pictures have a setting that can be disabled. Depends on the device where the setting (called geotags within pictures & videos) is located.

Anyone watch Mythbusters? Check out this article - http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/12/te...sics.html?_r=0

Thanks

from that article Moses:

“I’d say very few people know about geotag capabilities,” said Peter Eckersley, a staff technologist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco, “and consent is sort of a slippery slope when the only way you can turn off the function on your smartphone is through an invisible menu that no one really knows about.”

Indeed, disabling the geotag function generally involves going through several layers of menus until you find the “location” setting, then selecting “off” or “don’t allow.” But doing this can sometimes turn off all GPS capabilities, including mapping, so it can get complicated.

sounds harder than it should be


I have a camera, it is not waterproof and it is too big, remember I carry a big plugbag but it's full of plugs no room for a big camera.
I do sometimes catch fish George, I will fish that small darter you gave me until I catch a fish on it and might just take a pic of it for you.


I do re-size the pictures and save them, then do the upload thing here before posting, does that get rid of the geotag? I suspect not.

Some new cameras have GPS...and they do tag.

Like someone mentioned...disable it.

I have not investigated this stuff, but it might be in the info header or embedded in the format.
