,
I found a Shaun Ivory (shaun@ivory.org) script years ago that seems to get the latitude and longitude better. It seems to get Photoshop latitude or longitude, formatted like this: Example: 47.00 38.00' 33.60" then converts it to the decimal form: Example: 47.642667
I did not write the script I just used a sledge hammer on it . It had a dialog to that gave you a choice of 3 different website mapping site to use. All seemed to have been changed only Google map still seem to work. So I bypass displaying the script dialog and went straight to Google Map. You may be able to find what you need in the script.
// Open Map from GPS Location.jsx
// Version 1.0
// Shaun Ivory (shaun@ivory.org)
//
// Feel free to modify this script. If you do anything interesting with it,
// please let me know.
// JJMack I just used my sledge hammer on Shaun's Photoshop script
// I sucked in his include file and removed his include statement
// then I commented out his dialog and just Goolge Map the GPS location

Hacked it for you and it looks like LB is just west of 0...
