I see know that this might not be a "bug".  Since the "GPS Longitude" uses "W" 
to
indicate that it is "negative".  The problem is that I have another program that
reads the EXIF lat/long and it is reading the longitude as positive.

yes you're right. In the log I use both notation to be "verbose".

With exiftool if you want to have the decimal degrees notation (negative or 
postive
without references to cardinal points) then add the "-n" flag to your exiftool 
command.

The exiftool result you gave looks good, maybe there's a setting in your 
software to
activate. Which software is it?
