[Solved] More decimal places in GPS data ?

Post by DeweyV »

What is the limit of the decimal places of a GPS location that GraphicConverter will display and use ?
I can only get 3 places....i.e. 44.525 ° All expressed as decimal degrees, to just three places.
My Nikon camera's GPS records much finer detail...Degrees + Minutes to three decimal places ... i.e 44° 31.342 ' which is much finer , plus the cameras record Altitude ... 1247 meters

Is there a preference setting to reveal more GPS accuracy in GC ?

The coordinates are internally stored as a double - so, much more digits are supported.

Which dialogs do you mean? Please send screenshots. So, I can check and adjust.

Thorston-
What I am asking about GC 10.6.3's display of GPS data is in the Summary tab of the Preview frame in the Browser.
Preview-Summary only shows GPS out to 3 decimals places without elevation at all.

However, both EXIF Tool and the standard EXIF tab show the full GPS data ( with one caveat : EXIF displays both Degree-Minute-decimal , while EXIF TOOL is just 5-digit decimald egrees. A subtle difference. Both work for me )

What I would like to see is a Preference option to tell the Browser - Preview - Summary tab to display GPS location as Degree---> 5 decimal places instead of rounding to 3 , comma, Elevation ( feet or meters )

Here are three screen shots annotated in red showing the differences.

thx
