How do I get GPS info from iPhone 4S photos?

I can get the GPS info from photos once they've been moved via the Cloud to my PC, but shouldn't I be able to pull photo info off my iPhone or my ipad?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3

On a Mac

If you’re using a Mac, you can access your GPS information by simply right clicking on the photo file you want to view and then picking “get info.”

This will bring up a box showing all of the EXIF data attached to that particular image file.

On a PC

It’s a little different on a PC, but it’s pretty much the same thing. Right click on your image, and then pick “properties.” From there, a similar window should pop up showing all the EXIF data, including the location of the picture you just took.

Using Apple iPhoto

Open iPhoto. If you’ve never used iPhoto before, it will take a few moments to load all of your photos into its database. Once you’re ready, click on the “places” icon on the left under Library.


Once you’ve done that, you should see a map with a bunch of pins on it, each denoting a location where you’ve taken a picture. To see any of your photos, just click on the pin and iPhoto will take you to a list of the photos.


Let me know if this helps!

I know about the places button, but I specifically need longitude and latitude. Like I said, I know it's recorded because I can pull all inds of info from the Picture properties on my PC. I just want to be able to access it from the phone that took the pictures in the first place.
