Exiftool does a great job with GPS-inputs. Can I use exiftool somehow to convert a triple of values (degree minute second) to a decimal-value? I would like to use it with a bash-script, which uses gps-variables from different sources. My input could be degree,minute,second or degree minute second.

Re: GPS-conversion

Now you're starting to stretch the scope of ExifTool beyond its designed function. The best way to do what you want is to write a bit of Perl yourself, possibly using the ExifTool conversion routines if you want. The command line interface won't do this without going through a temporary file, which would be slow.
