Description Tom Cunningham 2016-03-03 19:27:12 UTC
I have a picture (URL above) that shows the following GPS metadata in the right sidebar:

 Global Positioning System
GPS Altitude                229 m
GPS Altitude Reference      Above sea level
GPS Latitude                32deg 28' 56.500"
GPS Latitude Reference      North
GPS Longitude               96deg 59' 40.016"
GPS Longitude Reference     West
GPS Map Datum               WGS-84
GPS Version ID              2.3.0.0

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

Altitude: 0 m
Latitude: 32.4824
Longitude: 96.9833
Date: 01/01/10 12:00:00 AM

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 Iā€™m not sure which bits the Geolocation sidebar is referencing. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Import photo at URL above into digiKam and select it.
2.  Open Metadata tab in right sidebar of digiKam.  Information will be correct.
3.  Open Geolocation tab in right sidebar of digiKam.  Information will be wrong and map display will be incorrect.

Actual Results:  
Information in Geolocation sidebar is inaccurate and map display is incorrect.

Expected Results:  
GPS data in Geolocation tab should match that in GPS section of Metadata tab.

The problem is not to reproduce with digiKam-5.0.0-beta-4. The coordinates are correct and the image is properly placed on the map.

Not reproducible too with 5.0.0...
