Doug,
Thanks for the test picture. This should really help with testing iPhoto GPS support.

The more I look into it, the more I suspect that iPhoto's engineers are still working hard on this one. There are just too many bugs even with the official GPS EXIF display on the Info Panel.

And one more data point, Samac's Mac Mini, which still has iPhoto 6.0.4 released June 20 of this year, also has the hidden Google Maps Show button with the same GPS decoding problems which leaves me to believe that the GPS code has been sitting fallow for a while.

Here's hoping that our accidental discovery bumps up GPS support for iPhoto 7 come MacWorld '07.
