some ideas from Corona Virus "Stay at Home" order

[Bruce Easton]

One might be extracting that info from photos for insurance purposes 
(i.e, homeowner's).  I think underwriters want to store the geotagging 
info and not just store info like "more than five miles from the 
ocean".  (Of course, I would think that info would be more readily 
available from something other than a photo.)
