FAQ

Which cameras store GPS location?

Most smartphones embed GPS coordinates in every photo by default. Some DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have built-in GPS (e.g., Nikon D850), while others require an external GPS module or phone pairing.

Why doesn't my photo show a location?

GPS data may be missing if location services were disabled, if the photo was edited with software that strips EXIF, or if it was downloaded from social media (which removes metadata).

Is photo location data a privacy concern?

Yes. GPS coordinates in photos reveal exactly where the image was taken. Before sharing photos publicly, consider removing location data with a metadata remover to protect your privacy.

How accurate is the GPS location?

Smartphone GPS is typically accurate to 3-5 meters. The coordinates stored in EXIF use the WGS84 standard, which is the same system used by Google Maps and navigation apps.
