Compass metadata tag in photos


We have a GPS enable camera that also stores the compass direction or bearing in the metadata in the photo. The GPS X and Y and other GPS information is stored in the GPSInfo tag in the EXIF data, however compass direction is not there.

Does anyone know where I can find about where this tag is stored in the file? I have looked up the XMP specs as well but couldn't find anything.

I'm writing my own photo mapping software, so I don't want existing apps that do this.


Solution

  • It's all good I found the tag I was looking for:

    Exif.GPSInfo.GPSImgDirection
    

    I found a good site to show all the tags that EXIF has here
