I'm either losing my mind (a distinct possibility), of Google has diddled with their syntax-checking, within "search window". Only a few weeks ago, I could use this syntax:
exiftool.exe -GPSPosition# -s3 %* | clip
... and it would generate a result like this: 44.7207861111111 -110.4794
Obviously, that still generates the same output in all of the recent versions of the ExifTool, but when I now drop that into the search dialog on Google Maps, it generates "Maps can't find" error.
On a whim, I decided to stick a plus-sign in from of the strong, i.e. +44...., and it magically works, which, again, leads me to believe that they've just tweaked their syntax checking, to avoid some sort of ambiguity problem with "real" addresses.
I could diddle with the script to prepend the string with a '+', but before messing with that, I figured that I'd ask whether the exiftool output could simply be "signed" as the default behavior.
And, again, maybe I'm just missing something obvious, so feel free to tell me that I'm misinterpreting what has happened.
Thanks for your time and help.
Try this:
exiftool.exe -gpsposition -c %+.8f %* | clip

I copy/pasted that exact line, but when I drop a pic on it, the clipboard comes out empty. To be very specific (and exact), this line:
D:\"Program Files (x86)"\ExifTool\exiftool.exe -gpsposition -c %+.8f %* | clip
... replacing my original line:
D:\"Program Files (x86)"\ExifTool\exiftool.exe -GPSPosition# -s3 %* | clip
Obviously, my world isn't ending because of this, so prioritize accordingly. I just appreciate the help/guidance.
As always, thanks...
Is this in a .bat file? If so, the "%" characters must be doubled.

Edit: Ah, yes. It must be in a .bat file because you are using "%*". Sorry, I should have realized that. Try this line (I also forgot the -s3):
D:\"Program Files (x86)"\ExifTool\exiftool.exe -gpsposition -c %%+.8f -s3 %* | clip
You are a "god", or... "king of the known universe" (whichever title you prefer).
THANKS a bunch. REALLY do appreciate your time and help.

:) I won't tell my ego that you said this.
