How to save GPS coordinates in exif data on Android?

Question

I am writing GPS coordinates to my JPEG image, and the coordinates are correct (as demonstrated by my logcat output) but it appears that it\'s being corrupted somehow. Readi

Answer 1

GPSLatitude

Indicates the latitude. The latitude is expressed as three RATIONAL values giving the degrees, minutes, and seconds, respectively. If latitude is expressed as degrees, minutes and seconds, a typical format would be dd/1,mm/1,ss/1. When degrees and minutes are used and, for example, fractions of minutes are given up to two decimal places, the format would be dd/1,mmmm/100,0/1.

The Android docs specify this without explanation: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/ExifInterface.html#TAG_GPS_LATITUDE

Exif data is standardized, and GPS data must be encoded using geographical coordinates (minutes, seconds, etc) described above instead of a fraction. Unless it's encoded in that format in the exif tag, it won't stick.
