It's not the GPS timestamp field that you're after, it's the GPS latitude and longitude fields.

We could demonstrate with Google Maps and some photos on this forum but I don't want to post where anyone lives. Use a service like http://www.findexif.com and it will make it even easier - it will automatically show you a map.

Here's a satellite photo from Google Maps, with the location taken from an actual photo on this forum posted yesterday where a member was showing off something. I turned off the labels to protect privacy so you can't actually see where it is. Google takes the coordinates and automatically matches them to a house, places a pushpin at the house, and displays the address. Pay attention to your uploads!

Thanks coin1024,

This really is a security flaw for Apple iPhone or other mobile devices, I remember there was news regarding people privacy is no longer their privacy, especially the Apple iPhone.

If the information got into the wrong individuals, this can do a lot of damages.

Edit: This reminds me of Lo-Jack with the wrong intention.

A few days ago I asked about PM thieves getting caught and how they did it, Here is one for you. Seems like the guy broke all the rules! Kept all his PM & guns in one safe, let a stranger live in his house and have a run of the place, and did not check his PM's on a regular time frame.

Talking about GPS locaters................ Did you see this one yesterday? It seems a kid in Ohio took a picture and posted it on a anonymous posting site and a "watchdog" group was able to find out which Burger King he worked at in about 15 min.!

@oden - I would genuinely prefer that people behave better than this. However, as long as there are bad guys out there wanting to pull this crud, all I can say is thank goodness for stupidity.
