<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Evidently, some homeowner policy
underwriters do want to track the geotagging. I doubt it's for
anything legally binding, but may be to help with their own
statistics for certain range areas. Perhaps a more fine-tuned
approach to assess risk than using zip code for instance.<br>
<br>
I thought the geocoding for a property might be more readily
available from some local government database, but I've been told
that they would only be using a surveying coordinate system.<br>

photos is something I have thought about. Maybe for damage to a
car. Maybe before and after photos. Meaning you might need to
verify geolocation and also date/time the photo was taken. Maybe
even the direction the camera was pointing.

To "harden" the proof, you could embed the JPG photo (containing
the GEOTAG, etc.) inside a PDF, which can then be certified (tied
to a certificated individidual, tied to a validated date/time
clock, encrypted, and password protected. When a certificate is
applied to a PDF, that process hashes the entire PDF, so that
contents within can not be changed. I think this could prove when
and where the the picture was taken. I'm not sure what the
mechanism could be for validating the date/time clock.

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.)

use case can you think of for this? I've been aware of
geotagging (an dother EXIF data) in photos and videos for
years, and have written code to extract that data from the
files, but have not come up with many use cases. Ideas?

Here are a few: (linux OS)
<br>
<br>
Merge PDFs into a single new PDF:
<br>
/usr/bin/gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile=file_new.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf
<br>
<br>
Extract Pages from a PDF:
<br>
i.e. page 1-4
<br>
/usr/bin/gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=4 -sOutputFile=file_new.pdf
file1.pdf
<br>
<br>
Extract Pages from page # to end:
<br>
/usr/bin/gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dFirstPage=2 -sOutputFile=file_new.pdf file1.pdf
<br>
<br>
Get the numbers of pages in a PDF:
<br>
/usr/bin/pdfinfo file1.pdf | grep "Pages:" | sed
s/"Pages:"//g | sed s/" "//g
<br>
i.e.
<br>
8
<br>
<br>
Get the Lat/Long from a JPG image:
<br>
exiftool -n -gpslatitude -gpslongitude file2.JPG
<br>
i.e.
<br>
GPS Latitude : 31.4998652777778
<br>
GPS Longitude : -100.448014444444
<br>
<br>
I hope someone finds this useful.
<br>
<br>
Be safe out there,
