He needs to turn off location tagging for his photos. The tagging can be useful, as the better photo library programs use that to help you organize your photos by place (imagine all the pictures you take on a vacation). If he wants to strip the data from photos before sending, it can be done with the better image editing programs, or with special-purpose EXIF cleaning programs (EXIF is the format of all the metadata in your photo). I believe there are such programs available from the App Store too.

Well, I'll tell him to turn it off again. On April 6, 2011 at 20:27:05, they were at Pincher's Crab Shack, 18100 San Carlos Boulevard, Fort Myers Beach, FL.

Nailed it nearly perfectly. It's easier to look up the coordinates now, just go to google maps, maps.google.com and enter the coordinates as N xxx xxx W xxx xxx, don't have to mess with minuses and extra converter pages. But it took me a bit to get it.

See, he sent it to me from the restaurant directly from his iPhone, no access to a computer (probably has a laptop and left it at the hotel). He bought Paint Shop Pro, and I don't think he ever bothered to learn how it works. He's not interested in getting a better camera or photography. He sent me a nice shot of a hawk from a cam I helped him pick out and don't think he ever bothers with that any more. I tried to talk him into a Nikon dslr sitting there, he could well afford it, didn't want to bother with it so picked a P&S instead.

Yeah, I know exif, have used it a lot for my own and to see the exposure, etc., other photogs post if they haven't stripped it off. Most news photos it's not on there.

I like my own photo system I devised better and am finding iPhoto a nuisance. Lightroom is the same way. I need to tweak my file system and stick in a few tags in a text editor right after I've dl'ed them from my camera. Clumsy maybe, but I'm so used to it.
