You may know this but this is a FYI.

On your iPhone go into Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services/Camera/ and make sure NEVER is checked if you don't want to accidentally have the GPS cords posted with your photos.

Time is coming when that won't even matter. Just for fun, I tried this site with one of @M1 Abrams photos from today. Guess you have to subscribe to see the full info, but from what it shows, the guesses aren't too bad. And we're just at the dawn of this kind of thing. With the whole internet to train these AI models (including every photo we've all posted here), just imagine what they can do in ten years. :ninja:

I like having the location accessable. Many times I'll take a plant photo and I can't figure out where I was exactly.
I only mentioned it so that someone who does post, and doesn't know, would now know. The feature is there to turn on and off if needed. I can strip it in my paint program but the newest version I have is not as easy as the check box that was on previous versions.
