yes, as a floating point value.


I think it would be usefull, let me explain why:

No need for the moment. This is exactly what i would to do with marble.

To have contacted lead marble developper by irc, the current version of
marble widget shared as lib is not yet ready to use  with digiKam. I need to
wait next stable release planed for KDE 4.1

But i have aready extracted the source code from digiKam core where marble
widget need to be included. One c++ file need to be changed for that to use
marble  as GPS map browser (not search tool yet)

In 0.10, you will see a new GPS side bar tab on the right. This is where
marble will be used. The old GPS tab from metadata  sidebar as deseapear.
Why ?  because, GPS  info are hosted by DB for all items, including read
only files. GPS info continu to be written to RW file format of course, but
GPS info are become main informations, not only a simple metadata included
in files.

 Best
