One little thing: this exiftool option set gives no 'feedback' when running. Here's the key snippets of the code (below). As I became more confident with JSON that toolset became more obvious for me. I have used it before and it's excellent. I will try Exiftool to see if it's easier. In-camera value says -37.8622 and taken at 10:42:10 local, so happy with that, including the '-' for South # So final latitude is 37 deg 51 min 43.92 sec S This is a subset easy to copy in GpsLongitude for the other one :-) $('GpsLatitude').Value.Value $image = New-Object -ComObject Wia.ImageFile # Create an ImageFile object and load an image file To help others, here's what I discovered: # Based on answer from (above) left or right of Greenwich, England).Thanks to everyone, particularly I've learned a lot and managed to work out how to extract my exact values, including the important N,S,E,W. above or below the equator) and west or east of the prime meridian (i.e. You need to specify if you’re on the northern or southern hemisphere (i.e.

Next step is that, every time I have a new batch of scanned photos, I have to decide when and where they were taken.

For Windows: download and install exiftool from here.

For Linux: install exiftool using sudo apt install exiftool.

I googled around and found the solution using exiftool and touch (on linux) or powershell (on windows). “Cyprus” (where the photo above was taken, a looong time ago) and it won’t get shown when I create a map of where I’ve been.įirst world problems, I know, but still. I also cannot find it by searching for e.g. My cloud photo app doesn’t display it on the right “On this day” day.
