Oh, yeah, PSA, I guess people should be aware that this forum, unlike many, does not strip the EXIF data from uploaded photo's, so if you post a photo of your Gwagon (or kids, cars, secret treasure stash location, etc), at your home, work, whatever, and don't have the EXIF data turned off on your camera or phone, well anyone can download that picture and figure out where your Gwagon sleeps at night, and come steal them some hutchinsons or a nice roof top tent (or the whole car). I'd recommend at the very least stripping the EXIF data from your photos before uploading on any forum or social media (most strip the data, but still...it's good practice), or turn it off completely on your device. Or use an app that masks the data. Or leave it, personal preference or course. Also check your kids devices and make sure the EXIF data is turned off if they are posting things on social media and what not. Again, personal preference.
There are apps for Windows, Mac, IOS, android, etc that strip existing pictures in bulk, and can be set to just remove location data, thumbnail data (my favorite is when someone crops a pic, but the thumbnail still has the full pic embedded), camera details, that kinda thing.
