GPS data into CRW

Hello all,

   I'm trying to come up with a way to write GPS data into CRW files. The command below works fine on jpegs and ORFs but has no effect on CRWs. All I get is a two line message that says

     0 image files updated

    1 image files unchanged

At the moment I'm guessing CRW files can't handle GPS, but I'd like to find out if I'm right. Here is the command I'm using

Code:

exiftool -a -overwrite_original_in_place  -GPSLatitude=36.86271076 -GPSLatitudeRef=S  -GPSLongitude=174.707263 -GPSLongitudeRef=E /Users/craig/tmp/test.crw

Unfortunately, Canon has not yet defined a technique
to store GPS in CRW images.  So your only alternative
until they do is to use a sidecar XMP file.

Aww well, I'll code around CRWs in the next version. Thanks for the info.
