I just found this bit of information from the " Kovels " site.
GPS in newer cameras
A reader warns that many new cameras and smartphones have GPS capability. When you post a picture from one of these devices on the internet in places like Facebook, Craigslist, etc., the picture carries with it coded information about the location where the picture was taken. That means anyone can learn where your Tiffany lamp or cabinet filled with silver is located. It puts your collection and you at risk. To learn more, search for the term “geotagging." NGE
