| Nov 20, 2018 at 18:49 | comment | added | Broots Waymb | @ChrisH - Exactly, that's actually the answer I had in mind when I wrote that comment! | |

| Nov 20, 2018 at 17:46 | comment | added | gerrit | @BrootsWaymb I don't generally upload anything until I'm back home, certainly not publicly. | |
| Nov 20, 2018 at 17:30 | comment | added | Chris H | @Broots, you can of course (as I do) upload your photos after returning home, but still geotag them (I use vague text tags in the vast majority of cases). In fact you might have to if the place is remote enough to have no signal. Related at security.stackexchange.com (an answer of mine) | |

So there is a personal security sort of aspect too. You're essentially saying "Hey, check out this neat scenery. Also, did I mention I'm not at home and probably won't be for the next couple days?" | |
