How can I geotag my photos? |
| A15 |
The GPS real time is based on UTC/GMT+0 time. What you have to do is to change UTC/GMT to your local time zone by selecting Display time zone in software.
And set the correct local time with your camera. When you import the pictures from your camera, the photo time will be synchronized automatically with the local time. |
| |
| Q16 |
How can I set the time on the GPS unit? |
| A16 |
Sorry, you could not set the GPS time, all Qstarz GPS products is using the universal UTC/GMT time.

This means no matter where you use the device, the GPS time will be the same (UTC/GMT time) and the GPS device time could not be changed or modified. |
