Image without gps coordinates

[cguterman]

Hi there.

I'm trying to use exiftool to print an image metadata. The image has GPS coordinates but I can't display lat/long. It would be my exiftool version (13) ?

Thank you very much.

The coordinates are part of the image, not embedded in the file. There is nothing embedded in the file except a very basic JFIF block

I even attempted to OCR the data with Tesseract. The background is too complex to properly read the characters. This was the output from Tesseract

Thank you for answer.

I installed an app Exiftool that display the GPS informations, but I think I'm not able to get it.

So, I believe I don't know how to use correctly Exiftool, a pretty powerfull tool.

I'll keep trying.

If you detect a mistake of mine, please let me know where is my mistake.

Grateful for everything!

There's no data. See my response in the other thread.

StarGeek, thank you very much.

I really needed to confirm that the photo did not contained GPS info.

I took that shot from a app called Timestamp Camera and shared using whatsapp.

I think I losed the photo's GPS info when I shared that by whatsapp.

Is there a way to avoid that loss?

Thank you very much.

shared using whatsapp.

WhatsApp strips away all metadata, as does most social media and messaging apps.

Is there a way to avoid that loss?

You should check to make sure that the app adds any metadata in the first place, which is pretty unlikely as most apps don't add any metadata.

Otherwise, you would have to use something like Google Drive/Photos or Dropbox in order to get the unedited version.
