GPS tags Error in Organiser 2018
a) If the image is west of Greenwich then all is fine
b) If the image is east of Greenwich then one tag (LongitudeRef) is missing
Examples below
a) Cardiff Wales (W)
LatitudeRef North latitude
Latitude 51° 28' 53.000000"
LongitudeRef West longitude
Longitude 3° 10' 44.000000"
b) Copenhagen (E)
LatitudeRef North latitude
Latitude 55° 40' 33.000000"
Longitude 12° 0.000000'
**** LongitudeRef should be set to East longitude but is missing.
FURTHER UPDATE
More details of the bug in "Save Metadata to file" - in Ver15 and Ver16.
For GPS coordinates that are longitude WEST everything works fine .
organiser sets the four attributes LatitudeRef , Latitude , LongitudeRef , Longitude correctly
For GPS coordinates that are logitude EAST
organiser sets the attributes LatitudeRef , Latitude correctly
LongitudeRef is not set at all
Longitude is set only to the nearest degree
with 0 minutes and 0 seconds
EXAMPLES BELOW
Screen shots of GPS data in Organiser
EAST LOCATION - ok in organiser
WEST LOCATION - ok in organiser
Screen shot from file exif properties
EAST LOCATION - incorrect saved metadata
WEST LOCATION - Metadata correct

It is very easy to reproduce this error
Use Organiser to set a photo's location to Copenhagen,Denmark
Click File / Save metadata to file
Compare the GPS data Organiser (using info function) with GPS data in the file.
You can use a free tool such as "Exif Pilot" to see the GPS data in the file.
The Longitude Ref will be missing and the Longitude will be rounded to the nearest degree
Do the same with any location in the USA and everything will work properly.
