GPS co-ordinates not written to image file metadata

[Boris Tomsic]

When adding GPS co-ordinates with Edit Geolocation, the co-ordinates are
saved into the image file metadata, are they not? - as opposed to being
stored in the database?

While overseas using my laptop, I have manually added the GPS co-ordinates
to an image file using Edit Geolocation.

When I copy this image file to my desktop at home, it is not showing the
geolocation. Why would this be?

On the laptop I have clicked the [Apply] button, the image thumbnail shows
the GPS icon in the top-right corner, and the image is shown in the Map tab
on the right.

After copying it to the desktop, I did Menu: Edit > Reread Metadata From
File, but it is still not reading the GPS co-ordinates. Other metadata that
I entered from the laptop, such as Tags and City/State/Country are shown. If
the GPS co-ordinates are embedded in the image file, shouldn't DigiKam also
be reading that from a copy of the same file on the desktop?
