Hi guys,
Not sure if this video which shows how easy it is to track down a location via copying a photo has been shown before but it thought it important to post.

Make sure that GPS is turned off before posting a big nugget from the field. I love the digital world but it certainly has some downfalls. I showed my kids this as well and they were shocked at what could be done simply with a photo.
Cheers

Double edge sword of coolness. OK, my girlfriend's son has a 4wd jeep and is a member of an association of others with similar vehicles. They like to travel in caravans through out the southwest in wilderness areas, they GPS their location in real-time and post real-time photos of their adventures online; for the amusement of their friends/loved ones at home. This using their smartphones and other extended GPS services. Today's smartphones, smart-pads, etc... are set up to appeal to the interest of today's digitally acclimatized consumer; which may not be the same interest as your's. Very little remains as it once was, anymore.
ok so I guess I am not as up to date as I think. I had no idea about this. Although I do have my tagging and gps turned off. It sure made me open my eyes as to what could happen.
Boy that is is lot of hoops to jump throught. If some one just asked I would take them out to some great spots and hey We have RV parking. Thanks that is good to know.
