<h2>Privacy settings - not what we want here</h2>
<p>When you share photos on your phone to the Expo photo sharing site, by default, the location of those photos will be stripped out. So all those lovely pics of intriguing cave entrances you snapped on your walks are now utterly useless.
<p>So, before expo, perhaps while sitting in a traffic jam around Munish or on the train from Bad Ischl, take a moment to photograph your travel companions in an embarassing pose and fix the this:

<ol>
<li>Go to Google photos on your phone
<li>Click the Sharing icon (top right, next to your own mugshot icon)
<li>Click on the "Expo Social Media" album that is being used for this year's expo
<li>Click on the 3 vertical dots, top right., then "Options"
<li>SLide the toggle on "Share photo locations" to the right to enable location sharing.
<li>Slide the toggle on "Share photo locations" to the right to enable location sharing.
<li>You need to do this on each individual Google photo album.

<h3>Share location with useful people on expo</h3>

<p>So that we can spend less time looking for the body in horrible conditions...
<p>[someone write this is a less frightening way, please?]
<h3>Disabling GPS "energy saving" modes</h3>
tbd
<h4>Why</h4>
<p>If recording a track, you do <em>not</em> want your phone to decide to go into "energy-saving mode" (the default if you are not actively interacting with your mapping app, such as OSMand) as it will drop location points and your recorded track wil now gaily bound over impenetrable chasms, rendering it rather useless for finding your way home in thick cloud.
<p>Unless you have already done a couple of days with your phone set into "continuous GPS mode", you have no idea how long your battery will last. So if you haven't already practiced this on a fell in the UK, you need to <b>bring a phone backup battery</b> with you on expo.
<p>You can buy phone battery backups in Austria, but they are a bit epxensive, and hard to find in Bad Aussee (try the post office phone shop, or the deviously hidden electronics repair shop in central Bad Aussee).
<h4>How</h4>
<p>detailed instructions depend on the type of phone and the version of Android - someone fix this ?!
