Location search

[DavidHoffmanuk]

I know that I have location data in my images but I've not been able to find a way to see the GPS data within PM6+ and I have to use a separate exif reader. How can I see the actual GPS coordinate data in PM6+?

If I highlight the globe icons in the location fields then the appropriate fields are filled but only after I save and move on so I can't see them to check they are what I need without going back again. Is there a way round that?

A search using:
location within 100m of 52.530914, -0.066550
works but the format
location within 100m of N 052° 31' 51.30", W 000° 02' 59.64
doesn't find anything.

When I see the location in other apps it's usually in the degree-minute-second (DMS) format but it's mostly needed with only degrees shown as a decimal. Converting with a separate exif reader is a slow nuisance. If PM6+ can show the GPS location is there a choice do so in either format?

Thanks!

Use the GPS-related variables in your "Info Text".  You'll then see your coordinate data in the Info Tooltips in the Contact Sheet view, or in the Info pane in the Preview.

Photo Mechanic Plus does not parse the second coordinate format.  Only the decimal format is acceptable at this time.

No.
