Thanks John for creating and sharing this video. I haven't used geotagging before but this video gives me good reason for doing this. Keep well. Cheers, Keith
Two questions: (10 if a photo already has a geotag (as smartphone photos sometimes do), will that tag be replaced by the GPX information? I hope so. (2) Once the geotags are dropped into the EXIF header from the GPX file, is there a way to extract a table or list that shows the lat & long of each photo?
1) Yes, for example if your camera has geotagging enabled, you can overwrite that with the GPX information. 2) Sounds like a great idea, I'm not aware of anything like that but there might be! I just prefer looking at it all on the map :)
Great video but I have a question. I imported two gpx files separately and plotted them to two separate sets of photos (different days and locations). The first set I adjusted the offset by using auto but was off by hundreds. I manually adjusted the offset by -4 hours and got within two photos of the number selected. The second batch in order to get within two photos I had to adjust the offset by -4 hours and -40 minutes. All the photos were taken in the same state at the same time of year (Eastern DST) and the camera's time matched to the GPS app I was using on my phone. Is this normal? Why the big difference? I hope you can help me. Thanks!
I'm not sure, I've never had that problem. I'm rarely importing two gpx files so I wouldn't have many opportunities to see these errors (which is why I rarely import more than one at a time!). But I have imported up to six at once without any problems. Wish I had a better answer!
Since you took the sets of photos on different days, i wonder if your camera's clock was not closely synced with GPs time, and had a different offset for each day. If the camera battery died or was removed between sets, the camera clock might have had a different offset for each seat of photos.

Thanks Keith! It's one extra step, but can be very useful later on down the road.
