That is a pretty amazing feature. It is flawed though. The GPS chip can work without internet service, so why does the camera feature only record the coordinates if there is an internet connection?

No internet connection at the shark tank, but internet connection at the beach.

How were you able to derive that information from the pic that Nate posted?

Some shameless CT is beautiful stuff, from trees to beaches, and Porches (this is a car forum after all) - these are from up and down the western corridor (alongside NY state) and along the shore.
