gps altitude is stored in exif as an integer rounded to meter. combining photos with precision gps it would be useful to have the altitude saved as float.

    This is part of Android as far as I can tell - as in the device saves the GPS exif information. Even if I wrote my own code to save the exif information, the same issue applies to Android's location API: I confirmed that this is also being rounded to an integer (as can be seen with Open Camera's photo stamp option). Although Location.getAltitude() returns a "double", I see it rounded to an integer on my device.
