EXIF GPS data incorrect for southern hemisphere

After capturing some test images with GPS (in Australia), I noticed the co-ordinate data is incorrectly stored as Latitude N, Longitude W (instead of Latitude S, Longitude E).

Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Hello All,

Great news for the Apple iPhone.

Just downloaded 2.1 software update, and the Geotagging correctly geotags the southern hemisphere, now adds a GPS Time-Stamp as well as the GPS longitude & latitude info to the EXIF.

AND, when you e-mail it or transmit the image to a secure server, mobleme, Flickr . . . ALLL OF THE EXIF DATA STAYS INTACT, INCLUDING THE GPS METATAGS . . .

AND THE SIZE OF THE IMAGE HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM 1200 X 1600 TO 600 X 800 . . .
