[QUOTE="KOPBET, post: 3259540, member: 4153"] We've discussed this here before, but it appears it needs to be brought up once again. Perhaps you don't care, in which case you can disregard this, but if you don't want others to possibly know where you live (or at least where you took the photo) consider removing the GPS (EXIF) data from the pic before you upload it. Lots of cameras have the capability to imbed GPS data including (most commonly) cell phones. To me, this is most important for guns being sold in the classifieds. There are numerous ways to accomplish this removal or prevent it from being imbedded in the first place. Google has all the answers so I won't duplicate it here. [/QUOTE]
