GPS Location
0x8825Also: GPSLatitude, GPSLongitude
Where the photo was taken.
GPS tags store the latitude, longitude and often altitude of the shot. Latitude and longitude are saved as degrees, minutes and seconds, with a reference (N/S, E/W) that sets the sign.
This is the most privacy-sensitive metadata a photo can carry, since it can reveal your home or routine. Use Remove GPS Data to strip just the location.
The coordinates and their hemisphere live in separate tags. Latitude is three rationals for degrees, minutes and seconds, and GPSLatitudeRef holds the single letter N or S; lose the reference and the point lands in the wrong hemisphere. Altitude has the same split, where a reference of 1 means the number is metres below sea level.
