Your photoGPS is extremely easy to use Simply connect it to your camera via the hot shoe and take photos as normal Each time you take a photo the green status LED should flash once as the device captures GPS data for the current location If this is not the case consult the Troubleshooting section at the end of this guide The photoGPS works by receiving GPS signals transmitted by satellites and therefore needs a good view of the sky to function well So if possible try to avoid taking photos next to walls when surrounded by tall buildings or indoors etc Of course this is not always possible and sometimes you will want to take geotagged photos in areas where there is poor GPS reception e g indoors The JOBO photoGPS solution allows you to do this Simply press the device GeoHint button before you enter such an area and it will capture the location This can be used later by the photoGPS software as a hint to help geotag photos taken inside the area of poor GPS reception If you forget to press the GeoHint button before entering the area no problem pressing the button after leaving the area will work just as well If you forget to press the GeoHint button at all the photoGPS software will still try to geotag your photos based on the positions of any earlier later photos and or GeoHints An alternative to the GeoHint button is simply to take a photograph with the photoGPS on the camera either before entering or after leaving the area
