Picasa partially truncates Geo location data in EXIF when Exporting

Panamon_Creel · 09-03-2007, 09:11 AM

I noticed that Picasa truncates part of the GPS location data in the Exif when a picture is exported.
E.g. the original picture Exif has N45° 31.35", W73° 32.73" as location but the Exported picture has anything after the decimal point truncated and show N45° 31.00", W73° 32.00" which is a significant amount off the mark.
Anybody else out there that can confirm this "bug"?

Hi,

I've noticed the same issue with photos uploaded with EXIF location data. They seem truncated as they now appear quite a ways off the original location, as if on a grid (which would be the case if truncated).

I do not get this behavior if I upload to Flickr, they then appear at exactly the right spot.

What I wonder is what is different in our files as some other users don't seem to have that issue.

I can't seem to find anything to support that there may be more than one number format in the location fields, which could have explained this...

I left a note on Google's board about this and am waiting for an answer.
