Title: Find gps metadata when it might have been removed.
Post by: stinaz on March 29, 2018, 01:56:52 PM
I have a .mp4 file and I need to find the location of where it was recorded. In the metadata there is no location info.. can I see if this has been removed somehow and can I find it again?

Did you add the -ee option when extracting?  This may find GPS embedded in the video stream.

If ExifTool doesn't find the GPS, it doesn't mean it isn't there.  But if it isn't there, then it would be hard to tell if it was removed or just never existed.

Thank you for your answer! Unfortunately I couldn't find any GPS info this way either... do you maybe know any other application that could help me out? All the best.
