How to read the GPS information with all decimal part of its second from the photo?

Question

Here is my C# code.

private void ReadExifGPS()

    {

        var ofd = new OpenFileDialog();

        ofd.Filter = ".jpg|.jpg";

        if (ofd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

        {


           

            Image objImage = Image.FromFile(ofd.FileName);


           

            var propertyItems = objImage.PropertyItems.OrderBy(x => x.Id);

            foreach (PropertyItem objItem in propertyItems)

            {

                switch (objItem.Id)

                {

                    case 0x0002:

                        if (objItem.Value.Length == 24)

                        {

                            //degrees  

                            double d = BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 0) * 1.0d / BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 4);

                            //minutes

                            double m = BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 8) * 1.0d / BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 12);

                            //seconds 

                            var s1 = BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 16);

                            var s2 = BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 20);

                            double s = (double)s1 / (double)s2;

                            //double s = BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 16) * 1.0d / BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 20);


                           

                            double dblGPSLatitude = (((s / 60 + m) / 60) + d) ;

                            //rtbMsg.Text += "Latitude: " + string.Format("{0:#};{1:#};{2:#.00};{3}", d, m, s, chrGPSLatitudeRef) + Environment.NewLine;

                            rtbMsg.Text += "Latitude: " + string.Format("{0};{1};{2}", d, m, s) + Environment.NewLine;

                        }

                        break;

                    case 0x0004:

                        if (objItem.Value.Length == 24)

                        {

                            //degrees  

                            double d = BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 0) * 1.0d / BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 4);

                            //minutes 

                            double m = BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 8) * 1.0d / BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 12);

                            //seconds  

                            var s1 = BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 16);

                            var s2 = BitConverter.ToUInt32(objItem.Value, 20);

                            double s = (double)s1 / (double)s2;


                             

                            double dblGPSLongitude = (((s / 60 + m) / 60) + d);

                            rtbMsg.Text += "Longitude: " + string.Format("{0};{1};{2}", d, m, s) + Environment.NewLine;

                        }

                        break;

                    default:

                        break;

                }

            }

        }

    }

Run the Code will get :

Latitude: 39;59;8.27

Longitude: 116;17;34.74

You can see it's different from the win system info panel.

How can I get all decimal part?

Thanks in advantage!

There's an answer for this question here: Getting GPS data from an image's EXIF in C# one clean suggestion is:

public static float? GetLatitude(Image targetImg)
{
    try
    {
        //Property Item 0x0001 - PropertyTagGpsLatitudeRef
        PropertyItem propItemRef = targetImg.GetPropertyItem(1);
        //Property Item 0x0002 - PropertyTagGpsLatitude
        PropertyItem propItemLat = targetImg.GetPropertyItem(2);
        return ExifGpsToFloat(propItemRef, propItemLat);
    }
    catch (ArgumentException)
    {
        return null;
    }
}
public static float? GetLongitude(Image targetImg)
{
    try
    {
        ///Property Item 0x0003 - PropertyTagGpsLongitudeRef
        PropertyItem propItemRef = targetImg.GetPropertyItem(3);
        //Property Item 0x0004 - PropertyTagGpsLongitude
        PropertyItem propItemLong = targetImg.GetPropertyItem(4);
        return ExifGpsToFloat(propItemRef, propItemLong);
    }
    catch (ArgumentException)
    {
        return null;
    }
}
private static float ExifGpsToFloat(PropertyItem propItemRef, PropertyItem propItem)
{
    uint degreesNumerator = BitConverter.ToUInt32(propItem.Value, 0);
    uint degreesDenominator = BitConverter.ToUInt32(propItem.Value, 4);
    float degrees = degreesNumerator / (float)degreesDenominator;

    uint minutesNumerator = BitConverter.ToUInt32(propItem.Value, 8);
    uint minutesDenominator = BitConverter.ToUInt32(propItem.Value, 12);
    float minutes = minutesNumerator / (float)minutesDenominator;

    uint secondsNumerator = BitConverter.ToUInt32(propItem.Value, 16);
    uint secondsDenominator = BitConverter.ToUInt32(propItem.Value, 20);
    float seconds = secondsNumerator / (float)secondsDenominator;

    float coorditate = degrees + (minutes / 60f) + (seconds / 3600f);
    string gpsRef = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(new byte[1]  { propItemRef.Value[0] } ); //N, S, E, or W
    if (gpsRef == "S" || gpsRef == "W")
        coorditate = 0 - coorditate;
    return coorditate;
}
