[. . . ] The photoGPS software will perform several passes, retrying the captures that originally produced failed fixes, as these can sometimes be turned into successful fixes by using information from other fixes. In addition, the application performs reverse geocoding, to try to provide an address for each capture (street/town/country). 2. In the Photos Pane, select the source folder containing the photos you just offloaded from your camera. JPEGs are overwritten with geotagged versions and RAW photos are given an XMP sidecar. If you prefer, you can select an alternative destination folder for the geotagged photos. -7- 3. Select the photos to which you wish to copy the location using the mouse. Right click the mouse button when over one of the selected photos and select paste from the menu Select one or more photos. Right click the mouse and select delete from the menu. Right click the mouse anywhere in the photos area and select Undo Paste Location from the menu The locations and points of interest will be deleted from the photos selected The previous location(s) are restored Photos which have automatically assigned location data are flagged with a blue pin which have had their location data edited are flagged with a red pin . . Photos The second possibility is that photoGPS has been unable to automatically determine the correct address and/or nearby POIs for one or more of your photos. In the detailed view you can edit the address and existing POIs and/or add new POIs. Press `OK' to save the new location information, which can then be copied to other photos if required, as above. - 10 - 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. By default all categories are searched, but this can be limited by removing the tick from the appropriate checkbox. 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. 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. - 11 - 10. Managing GPS Captures When the device is connected to the computer, the photoGPS software displays the number of captures currently stored on the device and the percentage of the total storage used. The same information is accessible by pressing the `Configure Device' button. This pops up a window which includes a graphical display of the number of captures used and an estimate for the number of captures remaining. The battery status, device identifier, firmware version and internal clock time are also shown. This window has an `Erase All Data' button, which can be used to delete all the captures from the device when they are no longer needed. The typical workflow is to geotag your photos, as described earlier in the guide, then use this button to delete the captures from the device ready to start taking new photos. If you want to archive your GPS capture data you can bring up the `Options' window (via the Tools -> Options menu) and select the `GPS Data' tab. Here you can choose a folder that captures will be copied to when importing from the device. - 12 - By default, this option will not automatically delete captures from the device; you will need to do this using the `Erase All Data' button, if required. [. . . ] and completed Device failure Problem: When connected to the camera via the hot shoe, the photoGPS is not activated when a photo is taken Answer: For the photoGPS to function, it must receive a trigger from the camera via the centre pin of the hot shoe. If this is not happening, usually the problem is that the device is not properly connected to the hot shoe. Try removing and replacing the device and check the device is making contact with the hot shoe centre pin. Another possibility is that the device is properly attached but the camera is not triggering the hot shoe. [. . . ]
