GPS tag names are present, but 'ee' option isn't extracting them

[raleigh_littles]

I have an Auto-Vox X2 dashcam that encodes GPS information as part of its video recordings.

I'm running version 12.40 of ExifTool, on Ubuntu 22.04.

(My video file is called: 'V0299B.MOV', but it's 24 MB and the attachment file size limit is 12 MB, so I cannot attach it)

If I run:

exiftool -ee -G3 V0299B.MOV

I see numerous rows of GPS information displayed. Here's a sample output (there is much more, I'm only showing a few rows)

Code Select Expand



[Main]          GPS Position                    : 34 deg 38' 48.45" N, 120 deg 28' 13.55" W
[Doc1]          Sample Time                     : 0.30 s
[Doc1]          GPS Date/Time                   : 2022:03:17 22:03:38Z
[Doc1]          GPS Latitude                    : 34 deg 38' 48.45" N
[Doc1]          GPS Longitude                   : 120 deg 28' 13.55" W
[Doc1]          GPS Speed                       : 0
[Doc1]          GPS Track                       : 0





However, when I try to extract this information, by running this command:

exiftool -ee -p "GPS $gpslatitude $gpslongitude" V0299B.MOV

I don't get any of the GPS Latitude or Longitude information -- all I see is:

The file clearly has GPS Latitude and GPS Longitude information present, and it seems to be valid -- does anyone have any clues as to why it's not being exported correctly? Any help is appreciated.
