Description andgoransson 2011-07-14 21:51:05 UTC 
Map plugin does not update position of selected photo, rendering issues of the map also exists. Also, photos is marked on wrong location (checked that geodata in EXIF is correct!).
Comment 1 Felix Riemann 2011-07-16 11:42:48 UTC 
Hmm, okay the wrong location appear to be due to libexif changing it's output format of GPS values in 0.9.20. The plugin only manages to parse the hour-value there. Minutes and seconds are ignored. Will take a look if it is feasible to circumvent libexif's output formatting.

Can you please describe your other issues a bit more detailed?

The wrong location should be resolved now with the following commit:

    map: Parse coordinate tags directly from the Exif data
    
    Beforehand the coordinates were parsed from libexif's formatted output
    strings. This has shown to be unreliable when the output format changed.
