I've had Google correctly identify location for photos taken on a dumb camera with no location Metadata.
- shadowgovt 6y agoThat's interesting, and I wonder how they do that. Things I'd want to know include: * what app you used to upload the image to Google * what Google app / service identified the image * how you uploaded it (i.e. if you uploaded it via a smartphone with location services on, I imagine Google is allowed to say "Hey, this upload is being done at this lat/lon, which I've determined either from GPS or from cell and wifi triangulation").
- geraltofrivia 6y agoI use Google photos to store, organise and back-up my photos. My camera does not have geotagging. And they do infer the geolocation (city/region) based on the GPS data from my phone at the time the photo was taken. If I change the metadata, the location changes. I have mixed feelings about sharing my location with Google at all times, but this one feature is actually very useful to me, and provides real value.
