Check if any photos have been geotagged. I usually turn off geotagging for privacy reasons, but realised that one or two of my photos were still tagged. This script scans a directory and reads the EXIF tags of any jpgs in there, logging with ones have a location tag. Requires PIL/Pillow library to be installed.

Scans an image folder and logs which jpgs have GPS tags in the EXIF data.
