Rob, Ruben, List,

Virtually EVERY digital
camera and photo-enabled
phone made in the last 5
years or more encodes what's
called EXIF data for every
photo taken. That includes
the GPS data for the photo
location (among many
other types of data).

Here's a good free program
that addresses the problem
of keeping your location
secret:

nd-keep-your-location-private/

Simply Google "gps exif
viewer" to find links to
dozens of excellent EXIF
viewers available for free
download.

Hi Ruben:

"These pictures were taken with a hand held digital camera so, no worries."

Just FYI, depending on the camera, that is not a safe assumption. I have a
point-and-shoot Olympus TG Tough digital camera that I use primarily for
scuba diving and snorkeling and it has a GPS receiver and geotags photos
unless the feature is disabled. In any case, I think I could use your photo
to get much closer than you might think, but then I'm probably an exception
that you wouldn't be concerned about. ;-). --Rob
