Title: Suppressing PrintConv for gpslongitude when using a format file with -p

I am trying to extract the time and the GPS coordinates from a jpg file.  I want the date with easy-to-read formatting but the GPS coordinates as floats.  I also want to use a file to define the formatting (by using -p)

I want

07:20

37.242388

-112.8744

My format file, called tmp.fmt, is

$datetimeoriginal

$gpslatitude

$gpslongitude

If I use

exiftool -d '%I:%M' -gpslongitude# -gpslatitude# -p tmp.fmt a.jpg

I get

07:20

37 deg 14' 32.60" N

112 deg 52' 27.84" W

I was hoping that the -gpslongitude# would suppress the PrintConv for the gpslongitude tag. It does not seem to do this if use the -p option and a format file.

Any suggestions for how I might get exiftool with a format file to give me the output I need?
Thanks.

I think you want this tmp.fmt file:

Code:
$datetimeoriginal
$gpslatitude#
$gpslongitude#
