Can ImBatch add GPS coordinates that I enter, into photos with EXIF version 0221 via a batch process? This Wiki article says you can't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compariso ... ta_editors

This is an outdated info. ImBatch can read and write EXIF GPS tags and also XMP metadata.

Question: Is there an easy way to enter GPS data into the eight EXIF fields (GPS Latitude/Longitude, Degrees, Minutes, Seconds and Reference)? The only way I can figure out how to do this is to get the decimal GPS coordinates from Google Maps (39.668208583057464, -104.87064679980263) and manually convert them to 39° 40' 5.5488'' N and 104° 52' 14.3292'' W, then manually enter these values into the corresponding eight fields in ImBatch. Is there a faster way?

Thank you! I have purchased the software and am very happy with the powerful features.

Hello,
sorry for the late answer

There is no simple way to enter float numbers as GPS coordinates. We will try to add it in a new version.
But you can use expressions in Set EXIF/IPTC Tag task.
For example,
[EXIF] GPS Longitude Degrees: Floor(Abs(-104.87064679980263))
[EXIF] GPS Longitude Minutes: Frac(Abs(-104.87064679980263))*60
[EXIF] GPS Longitude Seconds: Frac(Frac(Abs(-104.87064679980263))*60)*60
Unfortunately, there are no expressions for [EXIF] GPS Longitude Reference tag :) You must manually select west for negative and east for positive values.

Also do not forget to set [EXIF] GPS Version ID to 2.2.0.0 if there are no GPS data written before and this tag was not set.

There is a new version released (7.5), where you can set GPS coordinates with one parameter.
