howda62 did note that Antje had the exact coordinates and so should get bonus points

Methinks someone needs to remove EXIF data from uploaded images ;-)

Surely just a cunning plan from a quizmaster's hospital bed, to identify those who try and cheat and separate them from those who (like Antje) play fair!

What amazes me most is that the EXIF data here had accurate GPS data at all :-) When I bought the camera I thought having built-in GPS would be helpful when trying to recollect exactly where a photo was taken. In practice though it only really worked well if GPS was left permanently on and that of course meant charging the camera battery every few days, even if not using it. So I ended up mostly using a setting to switch off GPS when the camera is off, with the down side being that it takes several minutes to get a GPS fix when switched on. Hence having double checked, my degree of surprise that the EXIF GPS data here was correct as I wasn't at the location for long. I took a few shots whilst I was there and the first few do indeed have a GPS location of Portsmouth! Obviously that must have been where I was the last time I took a photo before these.
