Discover geo-tagged and geo-inferred content with open source intelligence.
Location Based Social Media Search gives investigators, analysts, and researchers the ability to find online activity tied to a place — even when the content contains no explicit GPS tags. It works as a standalone tool and can also integrate with the DigitalStakeout XTI OSINT Platform, where it supports broader open source intelligence workflows for situational awareness, investigations, and threat detection.
Why Location Based OSINT Matters
Events leave a digital footprint, but location clues are not always obvious. Protest organizers, disaster witnesses, and threat actors often post online without adding geotags. With advanced geo-enrichment, Location Based Social Media Search analyzes text, context, and metadata to infer geographic ties. This makes it possible to detect incidents, track activity near facilities, and build place-based intelligence from open sources.
