I just found out that, if you take a picture with a GPS enabled device...Iphone...Black Berry...GPS enabled Digital Camera, the picture you take contains the GPS LOCATION of the place you took the picture at and can be used to trace your location to within 15 feet of the place where you took the picture

Blaze, thanks for the warning, you obviously mean well but, multiposting (identical posts in multiple forums, is a no-no.

Removing EXIF data, where gps and other info is stored, is easily achieved through a variety of software available across the web.
