GPS location imported from iPhone has wrong hemisphere
In LR Classic 9.1, the Map module has the wrong hemisphere (E versus W) for the GPS location. So instead of showing the location as northern California, it shows it in China.
I exported iPhone photos from the Photos app on a Mac (export unmodified original; checked Export IPTC as XMP). When I look at the file itself in Preview, it shows the following (correct) coordinates (northern California):
Latitude: 40° 26’ 32.508” N
Longitude: 123° 59’ 20.04” W
I imported the photo into Lightroom, and it shows the following GPS coordinates (China).
40°26'32.508" 123°59'20.039"
If I manually add N and W to the GPS coordinates, then it shows the correct location.
I don't know what to do to correct this before I start editing/modifying thousands of photos!
