GPS Values : Show in Decimal Degrees
« on: October 13, 2015, 02:28:49 AM »
I am trying to get the values from the GPS settings stored by an Android Phone Galaxy S4.

The values are shown as NxDegrees and y minutes including decimal precision
Lat: N53º17.456'
Lon: W1º20.740'

Is it possible to show this value as just decimal degrees
eg
Lat 53.290933
Lon -1.345678

I see you have {gmode} as an option and a note about 2 and 3, but I could not work out any syntax, to see if this was what I wanted

Thanks

You can choose your display format for GPS coordinates in the General section of the Photo Mechanic Preferences dialog.
