If you weren't aware, your smartphone may be identifying your exact location in a pic you upload to the web (Youtube, etc).
Now with smartphone cameras at 8mp, I would suspect more pics will be uploaded this way.
It's not a problem for most pics but what if it is a pic of your young child and it indicates exactly where to locate him/her?
It is an easy fix, to stop including this GPS data in a smartphone pic.
Just ensure you turn off GPS identification in your camera settings.
For the iPhone, it is in Camera within Location Services (enlarge pic to view).
As a rule, I turn Location Services off to save my battery and only turn a specific service on as required.
