Re: More fast food employee stupidity Many Smartphones (iPhone, Android units etc) embed GPS data in images (EXIF fields). Google "EXIF viewer" and take a look at images taken by your Smartphone and/or camera. If they contain Latitude/Longitude fields then the images are being geotagged.

| Well not yet  But in 20-30 years will you remember where you took your pics?
Geotagging is not always a bad thing. The problem is end-user ignorance. Sending pics directly from your Smartphone to FB etc may allow others to determine exactly where you were/are along with other personal info.

kudos:2 | What is this 'FB' thing you speak of? 
True, it's not always a bad thing; a remote location that may be hard to find, a fishing hole etc. are good uses. But, other than that, it's a fail for me. |

| Oh it's this small website that about half the population of the planet uses to publish their personal info, thoughts, location and pics of themselves and friends. Just a passing fad I suspect

Thanks for the info, it's appreciated!
But can I trust my carries, say Verizon or AT&T to tell me before I buy a Smartphone if the camera are geotagged?
Or maybe there is a constantly current website that tells that? |

ROFL'ing
I'll be the first to admit; don't have an account on it, post to it, read it or have any use for it at all. FB is just a complete waste of time. Besides, when could I possibly squeeze it into my schedule - I have more important things to do, like reading and posting on the forums at this little site called DSLR all night and day....
