Bug#1051341: exiftool manpage not complete

[Paul Slootman]

Package: libimage-exiftool-perl
Version: 12.65+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

I had an image where I knew the GPS coordinates where it was taken, but
I did not have a GPX log. Surely it should be possible to tag a single
image with a given coordinate? Reading the manpage it looked like I
would have to fake a GPX log...

A bit of googling led me to
https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=9415.msg48698#msg48698 wher
it was shown that you can do:
exiftool testcoord.jpg -gpslatitude=40.25090199998273 -gpslongitude=75.13265800002499 -gpslatituderef=N -gpslongituderef=W
i.e. directly enter the coordinates on the command line.
This works!
However hint at all about this functionality in any documentation.
Perhaps this can be added? Even if only as an extra example in the
geotagging examples.

Thanks,
Paul
