Many times pictures will contain hidden data called metadata that has your gps location info embedded there, and all kinds of other info including cam specs, model#'s dates of pics, dates when they were accessed and dates they were modified and even serial numbers sometimes. My post above is a note to myself where I can find the commands for when uploading pics to clear that data off my pics before uploading since I plan on being around here for a while. WTF answer for you.
:peace:
