4. photoGPS Software Installation

Insert the CD included in the photoGPS package. The CD will start automatically and launch your
default browser and open a local webpage. Press the button "Installer photoGPS" and follow the
instruction to begin installation of the photoGPS software. Accept the terms of the end-user license
and follow the prompts to perform a 'Complete' install of the software. During the installation you
will be prompted to connect your photoGPS to the computer via the supplied USB cable.
If your computer is using a proxy server to connect to the internet you may get an error message
indicating a 'problem downloading photoGPS.msi'. This is because some proxy servers may be
configured to block the download of .MSI files and these are needed for the photoGPS installer. To
try to resolve this problem, you can temporarily disable use of the proxy:
1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Select Tools > Internet Options... to open the Internet Options dialog
3. Select the Connections tab and then click the LAN Settings... button
4. Make a note of the current settings and then uncheck all the following check boxes:
Automatically detect settings
Use automatic configuration script
Use proxy server for your LAN
5. Click OK to save these settings and click OK to close the Internet Options dialog
6. Run the installer again (or click Retry in the error dialog), it should now successfully
download the MSI file and install the application
7. Once the installer has successfully completed, open the Internet Options dialog again and
revert any changes made to the previous settings

5. Preparing to use photoGPS

Before using your photoGPS for the first time, some preparation is required. To begin, you must run
the photoGPS application software. Under Windows XP, for example, click the Start button and select
All Programs -> JOBO -> photoGPS -> photoGPS. After a few seconds the photoGPS application
window will appear.
Note that, to use most of the features of the photoGPS application your computer must be
connected to the internet.
First, connect the photoGPS to the computer using the supplied USB cable. The Capture Device Tab
is at the top left hand corner of the application. You should see the status message change from
Device Found to Device Connected.
The photoGPS has an internal clock, which must be set correctly for the device to function. This
clock is set automatically when the device is plugged in and the photoGPS application is running.
