Parks staff want an Instagram geotag treated as exact coordinates for a playground inspection. How should the researcher treat the geotag?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Instagram location tags are like picking a restaurant from a list—you can tap the wrong one. Use the tag as a hint, then read the playground from the pixels. The tag is not a survey stake.
Full Explanation
Instagram geotags are user-selected location labels and can be wrong. The researcher treats the tag as a claim and verifies place from landmarks in the image. Pixels still need geolocation even when a tag is present. Platform GNSS logs are not a first public-source step, and discarding the photo because a tag exists throws away the stronger visual evidence.
