RE: grabbing GPS coordinates
True. But fighting this is a lost cause. It's just become too inexpensive and easy to do. Lots of relatively inexpensive cameras already record the coordinates of every photo, I suspect some phone's cameras now do the same, and of course many (most?) phones let you save your current location to favorites very quickly & unobtrusively. Keyring-size GPS location record devices for photographers are also sold for just $25; every time you take a photo you squeeze the keyring and the location is recorded.
If you're the one making the app you give the customer what he wants.
hmmm, that not make you a popular fellow on the dive boat
