Reading GPS location from MOV file created by iPhone

[rplis]

Hi,

I wonder if you could help me. I would like to read location data from movies created in iPhone. However using ExifTool I can't see any GPS meta tags.
I know that location data should be stored there, because it is by default in that mobile + I can see a correct position in Google Maps once uploaded to Google Photos.
p.s. I can read easily location data from jpg files created in the phone.

I would really appreciate your help.
Regards,
Rafael

Hi Rafael,

I thought that the iPhone stored GPS metadata that ExifTool would extract from videos.  Are you using a recent version of ExifTool?  If so, then I guess iPhone changed something.  ExifTool doesn't yet process the video stream in MP4 videos, so if the GPS is there then ExifTool won't extract it.

Hi Phil,

thanks for prompt response.

I thought so. Likely I am doing something wrong.
If you could check my file:

Google photos service shows exact location. See attached.

Hi Rafal,

Yes, the GPS seems to be embedded in the video data.  It is only my list to add support for decoding this information, but it will take some work.
