I have the same question.

In finally had a reason to try it, when I had to regenerated all the images on the site. And after enabling the function you implemented it worked flawlessly. Thank you.

Oh, I miss read that. Tried it and it works!

If I am not wrong LatitudeSDD does this:
$gps_data[‘LatitudeSDD’] = $refs . $gps_data[‘LatitudeDD’];

so it will look like this: W79.982195
but I need a number like so: -79.982195

PS: Because of all your help I gave a donation to your project.

What I also just noticed. I am also using a plugin called Force Regenerate Thumbnails to recreate all the images in a different size (I do this often while designing and developing to find a good size). When I do this I am losing all mla custom field data (not the caption and title date) and have to repress the mla Custom field mapping-button which brings back all the extra exif data like in my case the gps data.

I guess it could be related to the first issue.

I fully understand as I tried to find a solution myself already. But maybe something will turn up. Thanks again for your time.

Thank you!

And another thing I found. You save the coordinates with ESWN attached to the numbers. For map plugins like leaflet it is more handy to just have pure numbers.

e.g.
N40.446195 W79.982195 =>
40.446195,-79.982195

So I added a Number only version before DD is finally attached to $ref

$flip = ($ref == 'W' or $ref == 'S') ? -1 : 1;
$gps_data['LatitudeDN'] = $flip * $gps_data['LatitudeDD'];
$gps_data['LongitudeDN'] = $flip * $gps_data['LongitudeDD'];

I am using image rotation fixer which seemed the plugin that was updated most recently. I was able to set the priority so that it would run after mla but because the meta fields did not work on upload they could not get processed and the exif information was lost.

The problem with most of the plugins that work on images is that they lose all the exif data. And judging on what I read so far there is no easy way to reimport the exif in the new image.
