Where was this HERO11 Black photo taken?
The HERO11 Black can stamp GPS into your photos and video when its location feature is on, tagging each capture with where it happened — great for maps, and worth stripping before you post.

Common questions
Does the HERO11 Black record GPS?
When the GPS/location setting is enabled, yes — coordinates are embedded in each photo. With it off, there's nothing to read.
Is my HERO11 Black photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The photo is read entirely in your browser. Only GPS coordinates (never the image) are sent to a map service to look up the address.
Can EXIF coordinates be trusted?
Treat them as a claim to verify. EXIF is user-editable, so location and timestamps can be faked — ExifTrace also flags things like a sun position or timezone that doesn't match.
