"Insufficient information to determine geolocation" warning

[Mac2]

I don't use this ExifTool feature (my software has built-in reverse geocoding). AFAIK!?

But I just saw this warning in a log file provided by a user.
Under which conditions does ExifTool report this warning? Do I have to provide a new command-line (args file) parameter to avoid ExifTool trying to perform reverse-geocoding?

You will get this with the geolocation feature if you haven't provided either a city name or latitude/longitude coordinates.

I don't use the -geotag parameter when I ask ExifTool to extract metadata It still emits the warning and I log it. The user processes Nikon RAW files 15 or 20 years old, if this makes a difference.

Is this warning normal and I can ignore it or is there something I need to do to prevent ExifTool from trying geocoding and failing?

[Phil Harvey]

This warning is not normal. You must be either writing the -geolocate tag or setting the -api geolocation option.

Aahhh. You are right!
Stupid me. I did make some tests with the geolocation feature, but decided not to use it. But I left the test code in
Thank you for your support.
