Geotagging With Photogps - JOBO PHOTOGPS User Manual

the area. This may improve the speed of the photoGPS software as it will not have to spend time
trying to determine locations from the captures taken in difficult conditions.
Your photoGPS can store approximately 1000 GPS data captures. The device will indicate when it is
becoming full, by flashing the red status LED immediately after the green status LED when taking a
capture. When this first happens, you still have about 200 captures remaining, but you will soon
need to connect the photoGPS to a computer to offload/delete the current captures to make room
for more.
Tip: One of the advantages of the photoGPS solution is that there is no need to synchronise the
time of the device with the time on your camera. This is due to the fact that the photoGPS matching
algorithm uses time intervals rather than absolute times. However, this approach does mean that
the camera clock must stay the same for all photos in a batch to be geotagged. The camera time can
be changed between batches of photos, if required e.g. to set the local time for a set of photos
taken on holiday.

7. Geotagging with photoGPS

Geotagging your photos is simple, using the photoGPS software. To begin, download the photos
from your camera onto your computer. Next, connect your photoGPS to the computer via USB and
run the application software.
The photoGPS application main window is split in half. On the left hand side is the GPS data pane,
which is used to configure your photoGPS, to transfer/delete the GPS data captures from the device
and to show the resulting location information.
On the right hand side is the Photos Pane, which is used to select the source (original images) and
destination folders (tagged images) and to display/edit the location information for each image.

There are a number of options and settings that control the operation of the photoGPS software.
These are explained later in this guide, but here we describe the simplest workflow using the default
options.
