Problem with geotagged photo

Hi
I'm working with the 1750 version of the program but I have problems with geotagged photos.
The coordinates in the exif files are correct, but when importing the image into ArcExplorer the photo is in different location and the coordinates are different.
I attach the exif file data read with exiftool and acdsee pro 5 and the coordinates found in ArcExplorer.
Greetings
Gianluca

Hi Gianluca,
there have been two bugs found with image geotagging in 1750, both of which I have fixed and will be in the next release of Explorer. Your bug is covered in one of the fixes.

Sorry I can't give you a time estimate as to when we'll release the next version, and that your image is not displaying as it should.

kind regards,
Edan

Dear Edan.
Thank you! Waiting for the new version will insert the correct coordinates manually. I noticed that I have the same problem importing kmz and kml files.

I'm also having issues with this. My photos definitely have GPS locations in the EXIF data and were taken from an iphone. When imported into ArcGIS Explorer Desktop, they show up at Earth's origin (0-0-0 N, 0-0-0 W).

Hi Jackson,

What is the version? Build 1750 has this issue with the iPhone and Cashio.
This issue does not occur in build 1700.

I am also having the same problem. I took my photos using BlackBerry but when I import them to ArcGIS Explorer they go to 0-0-0 N, 0-0-0 W. How do I solve this issue.

Hi Jackson,

You can download build 1700 from the website at http://resources.arcgis.com/content/arcgis-explorer/1700/download.

Do you have Android? My photos that took by Android works fine on build 1750.

All,
as I mentioned above there was an issue with IPhone pictures as they were missing the seconds from degrees minutes seconds as I was expecting. The code would fail and exit returning 0 as the coordinate value.
The code change has been made, the fix is in, tested, and will be in our next release of Explorer. Sorry have no timeline to share as to when we will release our next version.

Sorry for the inconvenience with IPhone pictures.
