I found the following information yesterday..

IF you have a cell phone that has GPS built in, then it is possible that every 
time you send an image or picture to another cell phone, or facebook, etc., 
there is a GPS locator geocaching tag sent with that image.
This information is available to anyone looking at that image.

What does this mean?
Simply put, it means that they can tell where you are when you sent that image.
Which means they can tell where you live, where you are and, sometimes, if 
you're even at home!
OK, they're home... good time to stalk you.
OK, they're not home... good time to do a spot of burglary.

To stop this happening, simply turn off the GPS function when yo send an image..

It may also happen from your laptop.

Don't believe me??  Check out

Happy hunting  ;-)
