Photo Lat and Long

[joecnc2006]

Can someone confirm if the issue with the precision of the Lat and Long has been corrected? Issue in past was the round off of the seconds and not carried out far enough to have accurate precision.
Maybe post a photo or if someone can email me a current photo.

Thanks,
Joe

Issue in past was the round off of the seconds and not carried out far enough to have accurate precision.

This is an EXIF sample output of a Mavic AIR with Lat/Long values:

where were these values obtained (how) I usually see in photo properties and details?

I am using mainly EXIFTOOL. ExifTool by Phil Harvey
There is also a GUI frontend: ExifToolGUI

So does that mean the problem has been fixed for those who try to do aerial mapping?

I can confirm the lat and long works well on the MA.
I flew a mapping mission an collected photos and processed with three sources with good results and google mil file came in correctly as much as it could without ground point within 1m. And decimal place is carried out now like it is on phantom series.

DJI previously encoded latitude/longitude in degrees, minutes, seconds with a resolution of 1/100 second. That gives a resolution of around 30 cm. Current firmware encodes in decimal degrees to 7 decimal places, which gives around 1 cm resolution.

Note that both those options give higher resolution than the accuracy of the GPS units by a factor of at least 10.

Flight Mission and everything worked well with dronedeploy for the flight and then Metashape to proccess.
