    • Only GPS locations logged near the photo time will be used.
    • If unchecked, the nearest track log point will be used, regardless of how large the time difference.
      
  • Matching - Select the method to match photo data to the GPS points:
    • Match to closest GPS point - Matches the photo time to the nearest GPS point, whether it is before or after the photo was taken.
    • Interpolate between closest track points - This option will compute the position of the photo by interpolating between the two track logs points closest to the photo time.
    • Match to closest point BEFORE photo - Matches to the closest GPS point that occurred before the photo was taken.
    • Match to closest point AFTER photo - Matches to the closest GPS point that occurred after the photo was taken.
