Cameras Exif/GPSLongitude information reading is wrong

[ppant]

Hi,
I am doing some test. I add the geotag info in an image using exiftool. But when I load those image in the metashape and check exif 

Code: [Select]

[code]chunk.cameras[0].photo.meta['Exif/GPSLongitude'][/code] I am getting string return like ''81,0.10788288W' this. But with I tried some other image I am getting  return link ''-80.9804473374' . Not sure was it trigger by exif update I did. But When I load the same exif update image in gui. and look at the reference  the tag is readie[/font][/size]d like ''-80.9804473374' . Not sure where is the source of error or further forming in need. [/font][/size]

Hello ppant,

can you provide the complete output of chunk.cameras[0].photo.imageMeta() command?

And what is the actual value that you expect to be used as Longitude value?

Hi Alexy sorry for late response, this is what I get Running chunk.cameras[0].photo.imageMeta() I got as below . When i load the image via gui I get the correct Lat Long value (42.357163, -86.144123)

Hello ppant,

I think your Exif GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude are stored in following format:
DD, mm.mmmmmmmmH whre D are degrees, m minutes and H hemisphere (N/S for Lat and E/W for long)

so for 'Exif/GPSLatitude': '42,21.42979401N', the latitude value in decimal degrees would be:

Lat = 42 + 21.42979401 / 60 = 42.3571632335 deg
