GPS data into CRW

Hello all,
I'm trying to come up with a way to write GPS data into CRW files. The command below works fine on jpegs and ORFs but has no effect on CRWs. All I get is a two line message that says

0 image files updated
1 image files unchanged

At the moment I'm guessing CRW files can't handle GPS, but I'd like to find out if I'm right. Here is the command I'm using

exiftool -a -overwrite_original_in_place -GPSLatitude=36.86271076 -GPSLatitudeRef=S -GPSLongitude +=174.707263 -GPSLongitudeRef=E /Users/craig/tmp/test.crw

Re: GPS data into CRW

Unfortunately, Canon has not yet defined a technique to store GPS in CRW images. So your only alternative until they do is to use a sidecar XMP file.

Aww well, I'll code around CRWs in the next version. Thanks for the info.
