GPS location tags

Some digital cameras record GPS coordinates as an Exif tag in the pictures they take. This is especially true for cameras in smart phones like iPhones and Android based phones.

The Country, City, and State tags use the GPS coordinates to lookup a textual representation of where the picture was taken in an online database containing more than 100,000 cities. A functioning internet connection is needed to use this functionality. When using the City tag the closest city with a population of at least 1000 people will be used.

Please note that the accuracy of the GPS position might be a little off. This is because it can take some time for the camera to find the GPS satellites and measure the exact location. The accuracy is not very important when using the City, State, and Country tags.
