A method for managing visual media comprising: determining a velocity of a device; polling a location tracking component, at a rate of polling based on the velocity of the device, for location data of the device, the location data including first location information and second location information; in response to the device capturing a visual media item, determining whether the first location information corresponds to a current location of the device; storing the first location information to metadata of the visual media item in response to a determination that the first location information corresponds to the current location of the device; in response to a determination that the first location information does not correspond to the current location of the device: storing the second location information to the metadata of the visual media item; marking the visual media item to indicate that the metadata includes the second location information; and in response to a determination that the device is repositioning after marking the visual media item, overwriting the second location information stored in the metadata with a generated stand-in location.
