Some of the new model trail cameras have time, date, moon phase AND GPS stamps.

How does one erase the gps stamp prior to posting?

Just got one this year and wondered the same thing myself.  Wasn't sure if it was tied to the geocaching feature (which I know little to nothing about) or not as, during set-up, that's the only feature I turned off.  My girlfriend had to point out it's the year 2014 and not 2013 when I looked at my first pics.  I wanted to cut the "stamp" off the pic and simply did so by cropping the photo.  You may find something under your set-up opions.

Hey Jason thats a nice group of elk there.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Thanks ...  I moved the cam to a new spot last night but forgot to turn on the geocaching to see if it would imprint the lat/longs on the picture along with the rest of the info.  I did fix the "2013" thing.  (See my post about sheep busting the Nile hunt.)  Talked to the shepard again yesterday and he's "lost" 25 sheep or so.  As such he may not be moving on this week like he told me he was going to do so I wanted to scope out a couple new possible spots.  The cam should tell me if I chose wisely.

I would open the picture in the Paint program and cross out anything you don't want people to see.

This seems to me to be worthless marketing hype to make a camera more expensive.

Good grief: if you don't know where your trail cams were, I don't think technology is the solution. :twocents:
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

And if you have a dozen cameras out and combine all of the pictures into one folder, how do you know which is which?
Also, if you move those dozen cameras once a week and view the pics, which is which?

Uhh, wouldn't you be able to tell which spot it is by looking at the pics? I know my spots don't all look the same.  :dunno:
