How a photo knows its location
When your phone takes a photo it tags the file with the latitude and longitude reported by the GPS chip, plus altitude and a timestamp. The values sit in the EXIF GPS sub-block, accurate to a few metres.
DSLRs and mirrorless cameras with a built-in or paired GPS module do the same. Most desktop editors preserve those tags when you export.
What you will see
When the file has coordinates we show them in decimal degrees and drop a marker on a small map tile pointing at OpenStreetMap. Altitude, bearing and the timestamp come along for the ride when they are there too.
If the location was scrubbed before you got the file, or never written in the first place, the page just says so.
Worried about sharing your location?
Use the strip-metadata feature on the home page before posting any photo you would not pin on a public map. Many social networks remove GPS automatically; many do not.
