I have been regularly testing o3 in terms of geoguessing, and the first thing it usually does is run a Python script that extracts EXIF. So definitely could be the case

I took screenshots of existing 20 year old digital photos ... so ... no relevant exif data.

o3 was quite good at locating, even when I gave it pics with no discernible landmarks. It seemed to work off of just about anything it could discern from the images:

* color of soil

* type of telephone pole

* type of bus stop

* tree types, tree sizes, tree ages, etc.

* type of grass. etc.

It got within a 50 mile radius on the two screenshots I uploaded that had no landmarks.

If I uploaded pics with discernible landmarks (e.g., distant hill, etc.), it got within ~ 20 mile radius.
