The Complete Geotagging Solution
Geotag Photos Pro is the complete geotagging solution. It consists of a mobile app (for iOS or Android) that records your position while you’re taking great photos and a desktop app that geotags your images using recorded data. All your recorded routes can then be exported as a GPX file via Dropbox, email, or the web. (Click here to learn more)
Simple to Use
Photo GeoTag is an inexpensive Mac app offers geotagging with integrated map view. It does not work with RAW files. It’s available from the Mac App Store. MAPic is an interesting new app for the iPhone that lets you edit the geotagging data not just with the photos taken with the iPhone but also with images you took with other cameras. Remember, you can use apps to remove all GEO and EXIF data as well, even after that data has been embedded into a picture. Do note that prior versions of Mac OS X Preview app support the ability to view GPS coordinates for pictures with the data embedded within, but they lacked the built-in map feature, instead relying on a “locate” option. Easily add your location on camera or gallery photos along with Date Timestamp & Custom Address Stamps on photo! With this Geotagging app, rejoice those memories again by adding date and time stamp on photo including longitudes and latitudes, address stamps, local temperature & more! This GPS Stamp Camera App will help you to recall your memorable moments along with that beautiful place! In this article, I will go in depth on how to use this tool. If you are interested in a Mac program, or a more general overview of geotagging, see my previous post – How to Geotag Old Photos. With GeoSetter, you can geotag photos manually by using the map. Or you can geotag automatically using a GPS track file such as.kmz or.gpx files. Geotagging app Date Time Camera longitude n latitude location on photo picture stamp camera is a gps camera with longitude and latitude app combined with GPS information (including latitude, longitude, altitude and accuracy), time, and comments.
It doesn't matter if you have a few shots from an afternoon walk or thousands of photos from an annual vacation, geotagging is always easy and always fast.

- What you post online could put you at risk. Here are 4 Ways to Stay Safe.
Your safety with regards to Technology is our concern. And at times we write about potential threats and provide you with resources, so you can stay safe. For this reason, today we write about the unpleasant side of geotagging. While geotagging can be fun and convenient, we believe it’s important to be aware of how geotagging works. Because although we may like the benefits and convenience of it, there are also dangers that come with it.
In layman’s terms, Geotagging is when your geographical location is tagged to something digital, such as a post, photo or video.
- Sometimes geotagging is done automatically for us, such as when you take a picture with your smartphone. You don’t see it, but your location is automatically recorded in the meta-data of the photo.
- Sometimes we geotag ourselves on our social media channels. Social networks have geotagging features built in (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat). Do you ‘check-in’ or ‘add location’ to your social media post when you arrive at a restaurant? A concert? The airport? If you have, then you’ve geotagged your location.
- Sometimes we geotag ourselves on apps, such as when we share our ‘run’ or ‘bike’ trail online.
The danger of ‘checking in’ or ‘adding location.’
Depending on your online privacy settings – and your friends’!– your geographical information can be seen online not just by friends and family you trust, but it could potentially be seen by strangers with criminal intentions.
People who have malicious intentions will exploit to their advantage anything you give them. When you geotag yourself to a location and you– or your friends– share your location with the public, criminals can learn your patterns. They call it Cybercasing.
“Cybercasing refers to how geotagged text, photos and videos can be used by criminals and other negatively motivated 3rd parties.” Burglary, Identity Theft and Cyberstalking are only a few of the possible crimes you could be a victim of.
Thieves want to know when you are out of the house and for how long are you out of the house. If you “check-in” at the same coffee shop or gym at the same time on specific days, someone could determine your routine and exploit that information to their advantage.
Pedophiles stalking children want to see photos of your kids and want to know what school they go to, what parks they frequent, and what interests they have.
Photos & Videos
However, even if you don’t share your location – if you only share a photo – criminals can find your location with the photo you shared.
Music Tagging App
Aside from any visible landmarks, criminals can extract the location information from the picture you posted online. If you shared a photo you took in your home, they could extract what valuables you own (from the photo) and your location (from the meta-data).
This is relevant as well for the photos and videos of the homes you list for sale in YouTube. Does the video of the house show any valuables inside? Have you put the address of the house as well? You could have just put your client at risk!
What you post may be innocent – what criminals see is opportunity. For example,
- Posting “I’m on Vacation” = no one is at the house
- Posting “Home alone and bored” = I’m vulnerable
- Photos of your home = look at my valuables

2. Consider turning off location services on some location sharing apps
- Turn ‘off’ location sharing on the apps you think might pose a safety risk.
- Keep ‘on’ the ones that are beneficial to keep – such as ‘Find My iPhone’ or ‘Find Friends’
3. Don’t post your photos online or if you do, remove geotags from your digital photos
- On our iPhone: Go to Settings > Privacy>Location Services> locate the name of the app or the Camera and change it from the “ON” position to the “OFF” position.
