Many of you NESers like to post pictures of your guns on this forum. And many of you are doing it with your smartphones/iphones/androids. These phones with cameras often are enabled to capture the geotag information of the photos you are taking of your firearms. And as you could imagine, there are quite a few pictures posted by NESrs that still contain this information, unwittingly. This is something that you should be concerned about if you are posting pictures of your firearms online.
What is geotag information?

How does it get onto your pictures? Most likely you're taking pictures with your iPhone, and usually by default, your iPhone uploads this information if you accepted all of those notifications about location settings while leaving your GPS on constantly. Turn that feature OFF. Here's where you can disable location services in iOS when using your camera:
for other versions of iOS or android, go here: http://icanstalku.com/how.php
Why do you not want the GPS location of where you snapped your photos of your firearms on the internet?
You can do this math on your own.
If you don't know how to disable geotagging on your GPS enabled camera or camera phone, I suggest you just leave the pictures of your firearms off of the internet entirely.
FYI.
