Using GeoTagger
Getting Started with GeoTagger
Use the GeoTagger Wizard to sync digital photos with GPS log files (.gpl) and track files
(.an1) and tag them to the location you took them. You can place images as an actual
image on the map, a MapNote with a hyperlink, or a symbol with a hyperlink.
To open the GeoTagger Wizard, click the GeoTagger
button on the toolbar. The
Geotagger button is
hidden by default
; to show it, right-click the toolbar to open the menu
and click GeoTagger.
Important! Make sure the time and date on your camera and on your GPS device match
before you begin. This ensures that your images are correctly matched to the GPS log file or
track file. If you do not have the correct time on your camera, you can update the
information with the Timestamp Offset option in the wizard. See
Calculating the Timestamp
Offset
.
Tagging an Image
Once you successfully tag your digital images to a GPS log file or track file, you can view the
points at which the photos were taken on the map in your DeLorme program.
Before you begin, you must download the GPS log file or track file and digital photographs
to your computer. See
Receiving a Track From Your Third-party GPS Device
for information
on using the Exchange Wizard to transfer files.
