mercman Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 sheesh !!!Now what are we sposed to do???
skeeter Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 LOL---i guess the days of swirling out the back ground on the fishing pictures is coming to an end!!!!!!!!!!
Terry Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 you only have to worry about it if you are taking a picture with a gps enabled devise..like a cellphone strangely enough, I just use a camera to take pictures so the only info I give out is the date of photo what camera and exposure vI used

Your run of the mill point and shoot will have this moving forward so people can organize their pictures via "location" and certain programs and websites will allow your friends to see where you took your prized photo! It's pretty simple to pull this information prior to posting the images though....
toca Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 YES. ALL YOUR HONEYHOLES BELONG TO US....... LOL really now thats scary though.

I ain't see one .....but as long as there is an off switch or as long as I can go into properties and remove info life is good ............
The Urban Fisherman Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Yeah there's several ways you can go about revoking the coordinates.... Here's a link to one of Fuji's GPS enabled cameras. http://www.fujifilm.com/news/n110105_07.html
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 15 steelheaders and 23 muskie guys just smashed their iphones.
The Urban Fisherman Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 15 steelheaders and 23 muskie guys just smashed their iphones. Hahaha That's funny stuff!
GBW Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 15 steelheaders and 23 muskie guys just smashed their iphones. LmAo! But I think it's more like 38 steelheaders just did it.
fishing n autograph Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 you can turn off the geotagging option of blackberrys...canon cameras don't geotag either
jayess Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 another instance of what i despise about news reporting. this feature of cameras has been around for a while. this isn't a privacy concern -- it's a feature. if someone uses a device and is unaware of what they're doing, that is their fault, and not one of the device or device manufacturer. it's this same thinking that causes people to fear using email. It is not knowing what you're opening in an email attachment that gets you the virus, not the email itself. On the one hand, I do hope that camera manufacturers disable geo-tagging by default. Wishful thinking, but it would at least be courteous -- in the same way that one should have to opt in for mailings from e-businesses, and not be signed up simply by installing a piece of software. /rant

young_one Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Turn off 3G and data for your iPhones, while out fishing
craigdritchie Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 It's less of an issue for fishing pictures, since in most situations, just knowing the spot isn't enough. You have to be there at the right time, and that's entirely weather-dependent. Different issue if its your kid or your wife being stalked by some creep. Perhaps thats one feature that manufacturers would we wise to do away with entirely.
scugpg Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) you can turn off the geotagging option of blackberrys...canon cameras don't geotag either I think you can turn off on most Android phones as well. It is sometime called Location or Location Awareness etc. It can be under Location or Security/Privacy settings. See attached. I would think this is possible on Iphones as well.

irishfield Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Exactly buck... tracking your every move with transmitters in your cell phones... credit cards.. enhansed drivers licence and starting shortly (if not already) in your Canadian Passport. Can be picked up on a sensor from 50 feet way.
splashhopper Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 you can turn off the geotagging option of blackberrys...canon cameras don't geotag either I Have a berry and can't find the section to turn it off... please advise if you know how. Thanks
fishing n autograph Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Irish, we don't have chipped passports yet. The US has started issuing them. That's why the electronic pick pocketing is more of a problem there than here. I'm sure we'll follpw suit though lol
johnnyb Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 I Have a berry and can't find the section to turn it off... please advise if you know how. Thanks Turn the camera on....hit your menu button, and select options. Scroll down and you should see geotagging....default setting on mine was to "disabled"
Twocoda Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Turn the camera on....hit your menu button, and select options. Scroll down and you should see geotagging....default setting on mine was to "disabled" thanks Johnny...just checked mine and its turned off too...
