| Q1 |
I want to merge tracks from different project files into one project file. Is this possible? |
| A1 |
Unfortunately different project files can't be merged together. The only way to load tracks into a project file is from GPS device directly. |
| |
| Q2 |
The height value of log data is consistently 40m-50m more to the exact value? Why? |
| A2 |
The height you see from GPS is not the height above sea level but the height above sea level plus geoid above WGS84. And because geoid above WGS84 is a relative average height of Earth, the value of it may be negative. There still exist some limits on altitude value of GPS. We suggest you this value is only for your reference. |
| |
| Q3 |
I want to import tracks into a project file such as BIN, GPX, KML, or other file formats. Can I do it? |
| A3 |
For security reason, the only way to load in tracks into a project file is through GPS device directly. We're sorry for making your inconvenience. |
| |
| Q4 |
Why my photos are not on the right location on map? |
| A4 |
It might be the daylight saving time issue.
Please adjust <Photo Time Zone> in Option and <Display Time Zone> one hour behind to match the correct positions of your photos in QTravel. |
| |
| Q5 |
After lading my log data and photos in QTravel, my photos all stick on one spot, the beginning of the track. Why? |
| A5 |
Your photo time is not within the track time range.
Please check your track time range from track properties and photo time range from 1st photo to last one. Use "Shift photo time" or change time zone to make sure all photo time is located in track time range. |
| |
| Q6 |

| Q9 |
My tracks seem to be on wrong position where I have never been. And there are straight lines across the map. Why? |
| A9 |
When GPS is situated in low speed or not moving at all, the GPS position will drift including speed and altitude. This is because the born limitations of GPS design. Every GPS chipset in the market all have this phenomenon. |

| Q17 |
How can I geotag my photos? |
| A17 |
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. |
| |
| Q18 |
How can I set the time on the GPS unit? |
| A18 |
Sorry, you could not set the GPS time, all of our GPS products use 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. |
