[. . . ] 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. The photos will be loaded and their thumbnails displayed. By default, the same directory is used to store the geotagged photos. 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.

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.

Another possibility is that the device is properly attached but the camera is not triggering the hot shoe. Most cameras will do this without any problem, using their default modes and settings. However, a small number of cameras may only trigger the hot shoe in certain modes or after changing certain settings. [. . . ]
