Configuring The Poi Search - JOBO PHOTOGPS User Manual

The final possibility is to modify the POI search parameters (described in the next section) to see if
photoGPS can automaticaslly provide a better list of POIs for each photo.

9. Configuring the POI Search

The POI search parameters can be controlled via the photoGPS application options screen, which is
under the menu item Tools->Options and then select the "Points of Interest" tab.
POIs are separated into a number of categories e.g. Tourist Attraction, Food & Drink etc. By default
all categories are searched, but this can be limited by removing the tick from the appropriate
checkbox.
photoGPS searches for POIs in an area centred on the photo location. The radius of this area can be
selected from 100m to 5km. It is also possible to change the limit for the number of POIs returned
by the search function (maximum 20).
Ideally, these POI search parameters should be set when photoGPS is started, before loading any
GPS captures. However, the parameters can also be modified after the matching step. In this case
the POI search will be redone (which can take some time) and the new POI results will be assigned
to the photos.
