GPS coordinates on iPhone photos is incorrect but map has correct location.

I take a picture with iPhone, open Photos, select the photo, select the inspector, select the town at bottom left of map to display GPS data or select the picture on the map to see the location on the map. The later is correct but the GPS coordinates are incorrect. I have verified the GPS coordinates with the Compass app.


I have an iPhone 12 Pro with 17.0.2

Hello Jhtall,


Just to confirm, is this happening with a specific photo only? If so, you can change the location that’s stored within the photo metadata information. This link will guide you through that process, which may be helpful: Edit photos and videos on iPhone


Change the date, time, or location

You can change the date, time, and location that’s stored within the photo or video’s metadata information. See See photo and video information.
1. Open the photo or video, then tap the More Options button.
2. Tap Adjust Date & Time or Adjust Location.
3. Enter the new information, then tap Adjust.
To change the date, time, or location of a batch of photos, tap Select, tap the thumbnails you want to change, then follow the steps above.
You can revert a photo or video to its original date, time, or location. Tap the More Options button, tap Adjust Date & Time or Adjust Location, then tap Revert.


Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. My issue is that the GPS coordinates on every picture is not correct. Reviewing pictures from other years the problem began in 2019 when Apple began supplying GPS coordinates. I am not sure where to go next since I have contacted Apple twice and performed all of their problem determination procedures.


Again, thanks for your response.
