Enable/Disable Geotagging on Twitter.
Geaotagging is the feature provided on the twitter which is disabled by default but you may enable it manually. To enable the geotagging on your twitter account just go to Settings and open Account tab. Here you will find one check box named as "Enable Geolocation" some a check for that. You would be able to geotag a tweet with your exact location after enabling this feature. You may delete location history from the Settings page.

How to remove location data in Geotagging of Twitter.
You can delete the information about any locations by two methods.
1. Simplest way is to delete the tweet.
2. Click on the "delete all location data" button available on the setting page. This may take 30 minutes but it will completely erase all location information from prior tweets. But it will not be guaranteed that those information will be removed from all 3rd party application’s copies of the data.
