If the position is not accurate you can step back and retry it from the step '6' by increasing or decrasing the 'Seconds offset' a little bit, just like a fine tuning.ġ0: After finishing the tuning, all you need to do is click 'Geo Tag Images'. You can click any images at the list on left to check it. Otherwise it means that the sync isn't good enough.Ĩ: After the previous step you can verify the positioning of each picture on Google Earth by clicking 'Location Kml'.ĩ: Looking at the example above you'll see the estimated position of a picture. matches' must be the number of pictures taken.
