[Digikam-users] GPS metadata inconsistencies

[Tom Cunningham]

Hello, I'm new to digiKam so there may be a workaround for this, but I couldn't find anything similar in the KDE bug database.  I have a picture that shows the following GPS metadata in the right sidebar:

However, when I switch to Geolocation, the following information appears at the bottom of the sidebar:

And the map displays in China (should be Texas; longitude should be negative).

As a check, I dumped out the GPS metadata using ExifTool:

---- GPS ----
GPS Version ID                  : 2.3.0.0
GPS Latitude Ref                : North
GPS Latitude                    : 32 deg 28' 56.50"
GPS Longitude Ref               : West
GPS Longitude                   : 96 deg 59' 40.02"
GPS Altitude Ref                : Above Sea Level
GPS Altitude                    : 229 m
GPS Map Datum                   : WGS-84
---- XMP-exif ----
GPS Altitude                    : 229 m
GPS Altitude Ref                : Above Sea Level
GPS Latitude                    : 32 deg 28' 56.50" N
GPS Longitude                   : 96 deg 59' 40.02" W
GPS Longitude Ref               : W
GPS Map Datum                   : WGS-84
GPS Version ID                  : 2.3.0.0
---- Composite ----
GPS Altitude                    : 229 m Above Sea Level
GPS Latitude                    : 32 deg 28' 56.50" N
GPS Latitude Ref                : North
GPS Longitude                   : 96 deg 59' 40.02" W
GPS Longitude Ref               : West
GPS Position                    : 32 deg 28' 56.50" N, 96 deg 59' 40.02" W

This agrees with the digiKam GPS metadata, but I'm not sure which bits the Geolocation sidebar is referencing.  I'm using digiKam 4.12 on Windows 10; I also tried digiKam 3.5 on Ubuntu 14.04 with similar results.  Anyone have any insight into this problem?
