Not all phones and cameras support geotagging, but if you are worried about it, you can edit out the information from a photo's Exif file.

It is important. And now I know. Thanks Tanya.

NTR.. missj in training

Wow, exif data is news? That standard started in 1998.

So, people being able to find personal info about you on the internet is dangerous? Yep.

Location of your kids is...

And you too.

Yup. I have an iPhone 3G and can't turn off location services for the camera only...it's off for all or nothing.

I believe you can because I just did it on my iPhone3G.

On 3G location on/off is all you have. On 3GS and up you have other options under location services.

Why anyone would post their kids pictures for the public to see, I don't understand. I have seen them on facebook and some other sites but I don't get it.

Might as well just advertise for pedophiles.

I have a 3G with 8GB. I've had it a year. I do not have a 3GS. I am running Version 4.2.1. Maybe you need to update your software.

You're probably right, I am the worst when it comes to upgrading. Thanks

It's all about data mining. Facebook, twitter, smartphones are doing nothing but gathering information and that's why it's so important to lock down and review your settings on a regular basis.

Why do you think Facebook is worth so much $$$$?

Stories like this piss me off! Let's just tell all the psychos how to go about building a pipe bomb, locate someone to stalk, or any other number of crimes! I realize that some scumbags have a brain, but the ones who don't can really use info like this!

Most AT&T smart phones have their navigation thing like the GPS on your phone in case you lose it, so a data file on a picture really isn't that big of a deal, and pretty sure any one can track an IP address....just don't wifi everywhere ( whats a wifi? seriously!)

its easy to turn off & on, but most people on this site probably need BIG BUTTON PHONES BC THEIR OLD SO THEY CAN SEE IT.

I'm still on my cricket though. & I'm still on windows 98', so i'm behind in times, pretty sure i'll need BIG BUTTON PHONES soon as well.
