IPhoto 8.1 Garmin Oregon 550t map display problem

Question

I am trying to view photos captured by a Garmin Oregon 550t in iPhoto. The locations shown on the map are wrong.
Further investigation of the previously reported problem with iPhoto 8.1 displaying incorrect location information in the map display reveals that the EXIF information captured by the Oregon 550t is unusual in that it captures the longitude as a large number of seconds with 0 minutes. e.g. Longitude: W 105° 0' 810.000116 as reported by EXIF Viewer.
This unusual format seems to throw off iPhoto.
Aperture interprets the data correctly reporting Longitude 105º 13' 30.000" W.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

I user EXIF viewer http://homepage.mac.com/aozer/EV/
This photos works fine in iPhoto and with Preview
Using EXIF viewer the GPS section of a working photo looks like:
Latitude: N 29° 52' 10.86
Longitude: E 31° 13' 0.48
Altitude: 48.00 m
Time (UTC): 08:36:21
GPS Status: Measurement In Progress
Geodetic Survey Data: WGS-84
The same photo in Preview shows:
Altitude: 48 m (157.5 ft)
Altitude Reference: above sea level
GPS Version: 2.2
Latitude: 29° 52' 10.86" N
Longitude: 31° 13' 0.48" E
Map Datum: WGS-84
Speed: 0
Speed Reference: Kilometers per hour
Status: A
Time Stamp: 08:36:21.00
The info you showed is in a different format - my photos work fine with iPhoto
What version of iPhoto '09 do you have (8.1 is the latest) - some earlier versions had some issues with some types of GPS data - I've not seen any such issues since 8.0.3 (I think)
