GPS Metadata precision #8

Closed james2432 closed 8 years ago

james2432 commented 8 years ago

The data you are passing via python scripts are rounded to 4 decimal points by default Example: 45.48028925416667, -75.53223892111112 becomes 45.4803,-75.5322 Which gives you a precision of about 11m at the equator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Geographical_coordinates#Precision) Unless you are reusing the gps coordinates from the file to georeference where the picture is(at that point why are you passing the gps info at all?), you might want to specify the decimal precision when using the str() method https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html

Thanks for reporting this issue. I didn't know that by rounding by 4 decimals will affect so much so now there is the default values from photos metadata. If you have any other suggestion let us know. Thanks again 👍
