Solar Timestamp & Azimuth17:42 EDT · 248° WSW

Shadow azimuth (248° WSW) and 14.2° solar elevation lock the capture window to 17:22–17:48 EDT on the South Florida coast.

Horizon Vegetation & Parapet

Sabal palmetto crown silhouette and stepped Art Deco cornice narrow the coastline to South Florida.

Solar Azimuth & Shadow Ratio

Low-angle golden reflection across the deck slats matches 25.7° N latitude pre-sunset geometry.

Window Frame & Glass Spec

Converting a photo to location coordinates transforms raw image evidence into standard geodetic formats: WGS-84 Decimal Degrees (23.7018, 113.0560), Degrees Minutes Seconds (23°42'06.5"N), and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) easting/northing meters for GIS and navigation software.

How does the photo to location converter handle Hemisphere signs (N/S and E/W)?

Our parser reads GPSLatitudeRef and GPSLongitudeRef tags explicitly—converting South latitudes and West longitudes into negative decimal values automatically so pins never land in the wrong hemisphere.

Can I copy coordinates directly into Google Earth or QGIS?

Yes. The readout panel provides one-click copy for WGS-84 Decimal Degrees and DMS strings compatible with QGIS, ArcGIS, Google Earth Pro, and Garmin BaseCamp.

What if my photo has no GPS tags embedded?

When GPS tags are absent, the workbench automatically engages the 5-node optical triangulation engine to estimate regional coordinates and error radius.
