Not CRH but important for those who post pictures to the web.

This a bit off topic but very important for those who post pictures to this and any site.... Its pretty scary because its just asking for someone to come steal stuff from you.

Its also digital camera's which have the geo-tagging feature. Anything that is GPS capable I would assume.

Is this an obvious feature on digital cameras? I don't photograph with a cell phone.

How do I check to see if it has geotag??

yeah, maybe we shouldn't post photos anymore. That's kind of a bummer. Thank goodness for safety deposit boxes too.

I don't think posting photos necessarily is the problem. Its if you are posting with a device that is GPS enabled. If it has geotagging, turn it off. If it doesn't have it, you wont have a problem. I have mine disabled on my phone which is use to take pics here for this forum. I am not going to stop posting good scores, just going to be more diligent about knowing what I put up.

Hope this doesn't scare any of you from posting at least some bones for us....

Thank you for the info ... You could always use a scanner though ...
