First of all THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your help......if I could buy you a present I would do it....
Thats better, I like it ...but,.....Sorry,...Id love to stroke the text black like 3 pixels. and move it off the corner about an 1/8th inch (from the bottom and the side) . Can you show me in the code where i can vary the placement of the type? Also, due to the format in which the lat and lon are recorded in the exif, the format in which its printing is kind of wonky, with the seconds always showing 00. I attached a screen grab showing the format google earth requests, and is pretty well recognized by all. If you could just have it print exactly how its recorded in the exif , that format works well too. Also the screen grab shows the placement Im looking for.
Do you have a good resource for a newb coder to refference about this stuff so I dont have to keep pestering people like yourself. Frankly, I know a little code here and there, and this stuff I find horribly cryptic.
PS Thank you so much for the help with this Paul ...I really do appreciate your time, and Happy Hollidays!
I am not sure of what I am supposed to be suppressing, but will get there in the end

If you wanted to see all the GPS fields you could run this bit of code to see the field names and thier values...
if(documents.length){
var GPS=[];
var exifArray = activeDocument.info.exif;
for(var a in exifArray){
if(exifArray.toString().match(/^gps/i)) GPS.push(exifArray[0] + " = " + exifArray[1]);
}
alert(GPS.join('\r'));
}
