If you click on the image above, you will be shown a map which indicates where (in Tokyo) the photo was taken.
Mie's cellphone can tag each photo she takes with the latitude/longitude coordinates. Last night she tried sending a geotagged jpeg for the first time, so this morning I started researching how to get the coordinates out of the jpeg. It turns out that the data is stored in EXIF headers.

All cell phones broadcast an 'I am here' signal. With the right kind of interface you can ping any cell phone and get positional information. This can be done without the owner being aware of it happening. ..The wife and the cops have found me three times merely because I was carrying my Keitai. Once even when it was switched off. I may be wrong on that last point - I can't be sure if it was on or off.

Depending on the phone, the only way to turn it fully "off" is to remove the battery.


Let's ask GG since that her forte. The last time I checked, most PHS keitai were always "on" as far as pinging their base stations since PHS has much less power drain than Docomo, AU, et al.
