Lightroom: Metadata panel shows GPS coordinates incorrectly rounded to nearest second

John,

Would you happen to know if older versions of LR (6.14) have been fixed with regards to increasing the internal precision of GPS coordinates?

Sincerely,

David

Hi,

We addressed this issue in Lightroom Classic 7.2.

Lightroom 6.14 does not have this fix.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, this topic hasn't been well-curated and has become a mishmash of separate issues. The issue described by the topic's title, "Metadata panel shows GPS coordinates incorrectly rounded to nearest second", was fixed in LR 7.2.

I think you're describing a separate problem -- exporting photos loses GPS precision. I strongly recommend posting a fresh topic with a stand-alone description of what you're observing. Otherwise, it's very unlikely Adobe will pay attention to your reply here.

Also, your screenshot shows seconds getting truncated to three decimal digits: latitude seconds 32.850699 (original) versus 32.850 (exported).  That's a difference of less than 1".   But you said decimal degrees (DD) was getting rounded to three digits.  You might clarify what you're observing in your fresh topic.

Hello John, thanks for the reply. Yes you're right, I meant to say DMS instead of DD, and 1" really does mean something for my application. I'll take your advice and start a new discussion, thanks!
