The GPS information on Longitude and Latitude is embedded in the photograph when taken and then saved on the phone or uploaded to the internet. Criminals with free available programs can retrieve t he GPS information and simply Google Map the location of the photograph.

Please disable this function on your smart phone camera as soon as possible to help keep your children safe. And then pass this blog on to others to read.
