The (0,0) coordinates is valid even if totally unlikely. This is even called the "Null Island" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_Island), known because a lot of software associate the GPS location of invalid pictures there. This shows that a lot of camera/smartphone use these coordinates when they don't have a valid GPS information. Because 99.9999...% of pictures with (0,0) have invalid data, I would consider (0,0) as invalid. What do you think ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
