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.

• Match GPS logs and tracks to time-related information downloaded from

supported devices. For example, you can download a track that includes your

heart rate from an athletic device and view the data in the Profile tab. The
program uses the following file formats: Suunto (*.sdf), Timex Trainer CSV

(*.csv), or Generic CSV File (*.csv).

To open the GeoTagger Wizard, click the GeoTagger

button on the toolbar.


Important!
Make sure the time and date on your camera or athletic device and on
your GPS device match before you begin. This ensures that your images and data

are correctly matched to the GPS log file or track file. If you do not have the correct
time on your device, 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.

To Tag an Image

1. Click the GeoTagger button

on the toolbar to open the GeoTagger

box.
