How to get the 'Google format' GPS coordinates from the EXIF properties?

Post by mrwul »

At best I can extract GPS location like "52 deg 9' 16.70" N, 15 deg 23' 13.49" E

I would like to get the 'Google format' like: 12.345678, 12.345678
When pasting the 1st coordinates, Google returns that it can't find it.

If it is not possible right now, maybe as a new feature, to add an option showing the GPS coordinates the Google way?

Thanks!

Select the photo, Tools>Metadata>Edit GPS > Copy
Paste into G. maps and delete the last value (alt) ...


You can also open the photo in view mode, right click > properties ... display the GPS tab where the Google map can be shown in a large window, with the option of obtaining a satellite view.

Thanks.
Within Tools, I am afraid I don't have no Metadata>Edit, etc.
So far I r-clicked on the photo, properties, then selected EXIFTools

BUT...
I just 'discovered' under Tools > Open GPS location in > Google Maps.
It then shows the 'Google format' !

Great!!
I wasn't aware of it.

Matter solved.

Thanks again.
