Georeference your photos in tracks

What Does Georeferencing Photos Mean?

Georeferencing photos means knowing exactly where a photo was taken during an outdoor trip. When you travel, you generally know on which route you took the photo, so you have an idea of where the place is, but how many times have you repeated that route and not remembered where that spot you wanted to revisit was? Georeferencing photos is a powerful tool that allows you to remember, plan, and relive your experiences more completely.

How Does It Work?

If you are someone who takes photos on your trips, you will know that cameras record the exact time for each photo. This information will be vital for Land to accurately georeference them.

When you get home, save the photos in a folder on your computer and open the track you recorded. Both the track and the photos have time records, so Land will automatically position the images at the exact location where they were taken. The photos will overlay the track, this way, you will know where the most interesting points of the route are located.

Later, if you plan to repeat the same route, you will just need to open the track and the photos you took. The photos will be positioned at the location where they were taken, and thus, you will remember in a more visual way which were the most notable places on the route.

How Do I Do It?

Very easy! Follow these instructions:

Open the track to which you want to add photos.
Click 'Main Menu > Tools > Photo Assistant'.
Locate the folder where you have saved the photos.
In the assistant, select both options and click 'All synchronized'. It is essential that the camera has the correct time set.

Important: If the camera's time is not set correctly, you will need to indicate the time difference between the current time and the camera's time so that Land can synchronize the photos to their exact location.
Land will automatically synchronize your photos along the track.
