Understanding in EXIF GPS coordinates

I need help understanding a few basics about how GPS coordinates are written to the EXIF in LR4.

Here is the result: I understand how to insert coordinates in EXIF of a photo. I see clearly the details when viewing EXIF in LR4, but this is where the trail ends.

I try to display EXIF GPS data in several other programs and I just don't see him anywhere. Also, I participate in a web site that maps automatically pictures when loading, sharing assuming that the coordinates are in the EXIF data. This does not work for me either. As a test, I downloaded a file that had coordinated written in EXIF (according to LR4) uploaded this image to my PC and then re-imported to LR4... I see all the EXIF except no GPS coordinates.

For all practical purposes, it seems that LR4 is not really write the coordinates to EXIF except for what is displayed inside Lightroom shell.

What Miss me?

JimHess,

Thanks for trying to help.

(1) I was not familiar with the writing of the changes XMP. I just watched my settings of the catalog and I see that the function is NOT enabled.

(2) well, some of them have been previously exported images. I wrote GPS coordinates to a wide selection of photos that were a mix of RAW, TIFF and jpg. I don't "re-export" one of these files after you have inserted the coordinates. Honestly, I guess that if I inserted the coordinates into the EXIF data in LR that it became an integral part of these data from file, no matter what application, he was seen in after the change is made.

UNDER THE DIRECTION

JimHess, well, you helped lead me to the answer, and I appreciate it!

I'll handle this metadata manually as described here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WS638E3AC9-A04C-4445-A0D3-F7D8BA5CDE37.htm l

Thank you very much!

  • 5 Lightroom sometimes fails to load EXIF GPS data from .jpg files

    Until I Lightroom, I used geoSetter to add GPS data to my .jpg files. Most of them have loaded up in LR without problem, but for some of them, Lightroom could not import the GPS data. I used to compare GPS data in the loaded files OK and those who have not noticed that some of the problem files do not have exiftool: GPS, GPS Time Stamp, dater GPS map data. I used exiftool to change these in the file, Lightroom still not managed to load GPS data.  Anyone has an idea why Lightroom 5 sometimes fails to load EXIF GPS data from .jpg file

    The problem with P3207532.jpg is that it contains two sets of GPS, a values in the section of EXIF metadata in the XMP metadata section:

    $ exiftool -a -G P3207532.jpg | grep -i gps
    [EXIF]          GPS Version ID                  : 2.2.0.0
    [EXIF]          GPS Latitude Ref                : North
    [EXIF]          GPS Latitude                    : 20 deg 54' 41.68"
    [EXIF]          GPS Longitude Ref              : East
    [EXIF]          GPS Longitude                  : 107 deg 0' 5.47"
    [EXIF]          GPS Altitude Ref                : Above Sea Level
    [EXIF]          GPS Time Stamp                  : 02:22:26
    [EXIF]          GPS Map Datum                  : WGS-84
    [EXIF]          GPS Date Stamp                  : 2015:03:20
    [XMP]          GPS Date/Time                  : 2015:03:20 02:18:36Z
    [XMP]          GPS Version ID                  : 2.2.0.0
    

    But the XMP section contains an incomplete set GPS fields. Note that XMP:GPSDateTime specifies a time other than EXIF:GPSTimeStamp.

    I don't know which of your programs may have created these XMP values false, incomplete, but they confused LR.  According to the specifications of the Working Group of the metadata, which accepted LR, LR, choose the EXIF GPS values and false XMP values should not confuse it. But LR is preferring the XMP values and then conclude it is not all the GPS coordinates.

    You can work around this bug in LR by doing:

    ExifTool - xmp: gpsdatetime = - xmp: gpsversionid = file

  • Mobile Lightroom does not synchronize GPS coordinates

    I use Lightroom on Android mobile v.1.2. When I take a picture (using the default camera app), the image has GPS coordinates into the EXIF data. However, the version that is synchronized with the desktop app (2015.1.1) does not work.

    What Miss me?

    At least some Android software, including the default camera app, have a bug and do not save GPS information in strict compliance with the standard way, causing the LR to ignore:

  • How can I remove the GPS coordinates of my Hi Res images ONLY WITHOUT 'Save four Web' or Lightroom

    Hello

    I take hi res photos of wild animals, rare and plant at the same time my camera and deliberately ACTIVE GPS iPhone. Use the photos and GPS coordinates to document and draw my remarks with the dates on the cards. CANNOT disclose these sites to third parties. I don't want to keep metadata in my photos to the end.

    Using Photohop extended CS 6 MAC. Save files to the hi res TIFF or PSD and sometimes electronic-mail/download my pictures on the web when I am done.

    • I can't use 'Save for Web' delete my metadata - I don't want a compression in jpeg format. Need to preserve color profiles.

    • Don't have Lightroom.

    How to use Photoshop for remove ONLY the GPS coordinates of my hi res images data EXIF? You want to keep the other EXIF data.

    Surely Adobe can provide this service to rescue?

    Thank you

    Yes, as others have mentioned, just use the bridge and remove the entries here.  You can select an entire batch of files and have them all at once.

  • How to transfer GPS coordinates from one film to the other using Applescript?

    When I export a movie from the Photos app and read it in Quicktime Player.

    QTP then gives me the location where the film was saved:

    Now, I would like to set the location of another movie in exactly in the same place, using Automator or Applescript.

    Could someone please give me a tip how to do this? Is this possible?

    The reason why I want to do is I want to improve an Automator workflow, I wrote which helps the compression of movies that I keep in my library of Photos (that is, to reduce the size of the file).

    The workflow, you can find here (http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~zach/software/index.html#compress_movies_in _photos), if you are interested.

    Tips, pointers and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    Best regards

    Gabriel.

    Hard to do standalone AppleScript, but easy if you install a copy of exiftool

    Then, you can extract the GPS coordinates via something like:

    the shell script "" / usr/local/bin/exiftool - GPSPosition some. "." JPG ".

    You can also use exiftool to copy the tags of one file to another:

    the shell script ' / usr/local/bin/exiftool - tagsFromFile - GPSLongitude source.jpg - GPSLatitude dest.jpg.

    This will copy the tags GPS Longitude and Latitude of source.jpg to dest.jpg

  • GPS coordinates that are deleted by the Application Photos

    Since June 2015, when I copy a photo in the Photos on my MacBook Pro app, it seems to remove the GPS data. More specifically,.

    • The photos are taken by a Nexus 5 phone. I don't have this problem when the pictures come from my partner's iPhone.
    • I have a MacBook Pro from 2014 (not retina that base).
    • I always run the latest version of Photos. The problem seemed only to appear in June last year. Before added photos then appear to be fine.

    I checked the original version of the photo that I stored in (Finder), and this seems to be very well. Only once I have copy in Photos and then look in the file that comes out, the GPS data are gone.

    Why is what happens, and is there a solution?

    Only once I have copy in Photos and then look in the file that comes out, the GPS data are gone.

    How do check you "files that come out?

    • The GPS coordinates are removed, if you export Photos photo with "file > export > export original unmodified for a single photo?
    • The GPS coordinates are removed, if you export Photos photo with "file > export > export 1 photo" and select "include location information?

    If you do not file > export, but the menu share, GPS information will be deleted, unless you enable 'Include the location information for published items' in the Photos > Preferences > general Panel.

  • GPS coordinates of pictures is not displayed

    Right click on the thumbnails of the pictures and selecting Properties > details does not display GPS coordinates of the photos.  Not only the data, but the data field itself.  And that's for each photo, even those taken on my own phone with the settings > system > location set in place, as well as photos taken with several of my friends phones.  And the coordinates are displayed in Picassa, either.  Why are they not the GPS coordinates showing, and how can I make them display?

    You should look on your phone (if it's Android) and see if under settings > location you have "Tag Photos or videos with location" lit.  The only reason the GPS coordinates show is if the data is not present in the image file.  This seems to be the case with you, like Windows or Picasa is to see GPS information in the metadata.

  • How can I block the alert that appears when you try to access the GPS coordinates?

    I develop an application that has access to the GPS coordinates and when I try to access appear a message that says "a JavaScript asked the physical location of your device. You want to offer this to the script? Can I block this alert?

  • LocationListener Vs getLocation GPS coordinates?

    Hello

    Just a quick question.

    I've read several times that the frequent difficulty, to use a LocationListener instead of lp.getLocation (repeated).

    What can be considered "frequent"?

    All the examples I've seen get GPS coordinates every 5 or 10 seconds.

    On my particular application, I do a lp.getLocation () every 15 minutes... but I want to change that to 5 or 10 minutes.

    I have two solutions work, I just would like to know which should I use for a fix every 5 or 10 minutes?  One who takes fewer resources battery and device?

    Thank you!

    I think that locationprovider would be nice in this case.

  • convert gps coordinates in the text of the actual location

    In the card module, I have information for photo tagged gps, including research actual address information. My question; is it possible that I may transfer this information to address (not gps coordinates) for the print module search without "copy / paste"?

    Forgive me if I'm stating what is obvious, but if you have your image georeferenced and reverse georeferenced it (i.e. got city, country, etc.) info, and that is stored in the appropriate places (look in the metadata Panel 'location'), then that's all you need to do. You are always in Lr if the info is still there. If your wondering how to view the slide show, then it's as simple as choosing a text overlay, and then selecting the metadata you want in the overlay. In this case, to say 'city '.

  • GPS coordinates in the search for the card Module box

    Can you put GPS coordinates in the search box of card module CC Lightroom? If so, what is the format? Support said it was for the names. I thought that I used to be able to do about 6-8 months ago.

    You can put the lat/long coordinates in the map search box:

  • GPS coordinates don't is not loading

    Hello.

    For about 6 months now, I've noticed that occasionally Lightroom CC simply add a GPS coordinate to a photo. I select the photo, go to the module card and do right click where the photo was taken. Nothing happens. Usually it works, but if I was working on LR for an hour or more, then the addition of GPS will not work. I have to quit LR and re - start. Then I can add coordinates. Is there a way to get around this bug other than having to restart LR whenever I encounter the problem? I'm on a Mac with OS X 10.10.5.

    Kind regards

  • Change the GPS coordinates

    Is this possible in LR4 to change the GPS coordinates of the individual images?

    Also, if you drag and drop a "marker" in the map, which changes the coordinates of a photo as well. Does not work if the marker represents more than one photo, these markers cannot be moved.

  • Trouble getting GPS coordinates in the Simulator

    Here is the code I use to get the coordinates of the GPS by train. It seems that every time that it expires and ends by 0 for the latitude and longitude of return even if I put together a location in my simulation-> GPS location... window and entered in the Options-> advanced-> GPS-> was cool my main application class, this function is called by a button.

    public void GetCurrentLocation() {         Criteria ct = new Criteria();            //ct.setAddressInfoRequired(false);          //ct.setAltitudeRequired(false);         ct.setCostAllowed(true);        ct.setHorizontalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);        ct.setVerticalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);        ct.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.POWER_USAGE_LOW);        //ct.setPreferredResponseTime(10000);        //ct.setSpeedAndCourseRequired(false);
    
            try {            myLP = LocationProvider.getInstance(ct);            myLP.setLocationListener(new myLocListener(this), -1, -1, -1);        } catch (Exception ex) {            return;        }    }
    
    public void GotLocation(Location myLoc) {        if(myLoc != null) {            QualifiedCoordinates qc = myLoc.getQualifiedCoordinates();            //Call webservice here.        }    }
    

    In the myLocListener.java

    package net.gasbot;
    
    import javax.microedition.location.*;
    
    public class myLocListener implements LocationListener{    GasBotScreen gb;
    
        public myLocListener(GasBotScreen gb)    {        this.gb = gb;    }
    
        public void locationUpdated(LocationProvider provider, Location location)    {        QualifiedCoordinates qc = location.getQualifiedCoordinates();  //I set a breakpoint here, but it rarely gets called, and when it does, the coordinates are both 0.        provider.setLocationListener(null, 0, 0, 0);        gb.GotLocation(location);    }    public void providerStateChanged(LocationProvider provider, int newState)    {
    
        }}
    

    Can you get it someone please let me know what I am doing wrong? I'll put the listener null once it gets a set location to update as I need it only once. I also tried to use the.getLocation(-1) and it does not work either. Is there something wrong with my Simulator? Or just something wrong with my code?

    I don't understand your code, in fact.  Why are reset you the listener inside the listener?

    In addition, you "eat" the exception where you get the provider. He is a likely area of failure, so I would put a trace and trace any exception.

    Another thing to try: try to set criteria to null when you get the provider: gives you the provider "by default".

    Hello

    the two systems around the coordintates GPS, but differently. It's just for a nice display and does not affect your image and workflow data.

    I do not expect that LR is changing the GPS information. (Unless you change the modules of card). If you export your DNG in jpg and look at the exif data, you should see the complete information of GPS, not the LR round once.
