Solar Timestamp & Azimuth17:42 EDT · 248° WSW

Shadow azimuth (248° WSW) and 14.2° solar elevation lock the capture window to 17:22–17:48 EDT on the South Florida coast.

Horizon Vegetation & Parapet

Sabal palmetto crown silhouette and stepped Art Deco cornice narrow the coastline to South Florida.

Solar Azimuth & Shadow Ratio

Low-angle golden reflection across the deck slats matches 25.7° N latitude pre-sunset geometry.

Window Frame & Glass Spec

Miami-Dade HVHZ laminated balcony rail profile standard in South Beach coastal properties.

Determining where an uncaptioned digital image is taken requires separating container metadata from pixel-level terrain evidence. LocatePic reads raw EXIF/XMP headers first, then measures horizon ridge slopes, surface soil albedo, and highway geometry against global topographic datasets.

How can you tell where an image is taken when there are no buildings or signs?

Mountain skylines and desert ridges act like geographic fingerprints. By correcting camera tilt and matching the horizon curve against 30-meter satellite elevation data (DEM), we can isolate the exact valley or highway tangent.

Why do WebP and screenshot images lack GPS coordinates?

Operating system screenshot tools create a brand-new PNG or WebP bitmap from screen pixels without copying the source camera container. For screenshots, optical terrain and infrastructure analysis is required.

Can this tool read coordinates from drone and action camera images?

Yes. DJI, GoPro, and Insta360 images embed high-precision GNSS coordinates, barometer altitude, and gimbal pitch/yaw angles inside standard EXIF and XMP packets.
