I use a Garmin MapGPS 76. When I set the first waypoint and take a picture and say I walk a mile taking pictures. Do I need to set another waypoint for each picture I take? Or will the GPS add the waypoint every time I stop to take a picture?

Can I edit the waypoints in Photofusion?

Thanks.

Carl

If all is set and the times match, then what you will get will be little picture icons-- along your rouute that match the time based on camera and the time that is equal to it on on your GPS. No need to set any waypoints, just track and go. so at 1:21:03 seconds you took a pic then at 1:21:03 on your gps it will show the pic icon at that moment.. Pretty cool feature.. Hope that helps

I always take a picture of my GPS (with the screen showing current time) either beofre or after a trip. That way you can compare the exif time with GPS time and have a record of your offset for that day since the camera clock will drift a bit. and I am sure if you are like me, you forget to set the camera clock to the GPS every time you go out.

Hey thanks. After I made this post I went out and set a waypoint on the GPS and just start walking and taking pictures. And every where I took a picture it showed as a point with the image. Great.

I also have a COOLPIX 4300 and no matter what I try I cannot get the time on it to match my GPS. My Canon I set it's time months ago and it's still right.

Not sure what you mean -- photofusion doesn't use waypoints. The photos just stay on the track.

When we start to re-work parts of PhotoFusion they will be waypoints so they can be adjusted by hand afterwards, edited, etc. It would be nice to be able to add photos that don't have time stamps (or were outside the time of any GPS track).

Ok. When you look at the properties of a file and on the Track Points tab you can Convert a point to a Waypoint. Do you lose your images? What are the advantages/disadvantages of converting to waypoints?
