[. . . ] 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. GPS Data Pane Photos Pane 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. -6- 1. Press the `Import GPS Captures' button on the Capture Device tab. The GPS captures will be downloaded from the device and processed to determine their locations. When this is successful, the resulting GPS position fix information is displayed in green (time/latitude/longitude/altitude). 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. 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. However, the parameters can also be modified after the matching step. 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. [. . . ] Either process and delete the captures as normal or offload the captures for later processing. To set the clock automatically, connect the device to a computer and run the photoGPS application (whilst connected to the internet) Continue to use Contact Jobo None (when pressing the GeoHint button) GR It is likely that the photoGPS battery is flat Capture successful, but getting low on battery or memory (<20%) GRR GRRRR Capture aborted due to error Out of memory GRRRRRRRR Device clock not set RRRR pause GG Flashing Red Reset /clear started . . . 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. [. . . ]
