using the Geotags Tool. Check out this
on how to use the Geotags tool. Once that quick step is
complete, the geotags are ready to be imported directly into a stitching software.

CONFIGURATION FILE
The CONFIG file is an HTML file used to configure the settings of the GeoSnap Basic. Each time the GeoSnap boots
or starts a new session, it searches the root directory of the microSD card for the CONFIG file and reads the
settings. If a CONFIG file is not present, the GeoSnap will generate a default CONFIG file (in this case, the blue and
white LEDs will flash/beep for 10 seconds at boot-up letting you know that you should review/edit the settings).
It is highly recommended to open and save the CONFIG file using the Google Chrome web browser. Note that an
internet connection is not required to view and edit the CONFIG file. The interactive interface consists of a variety
of fields and drop-down menus that you can use to select your trigger mode, trigger parameters, and to record the
camera-to-antenna offset for your drone. Once you are done editing the settings, follow these instructions:
Saving Instructions:
1. Right click on an empty spot inside your browser window and select "Save as..."
2. Leave the file name as "CONFIG", but make sure the save as type is "Webpage, Complete"
3. Navigate to the root directory of your microSD card and then press "Save"
4. If there is already a CONFIG file present, a window will appear asking if you want to replace it. Press "Yes"
5. Safely eject the microSD card from your computer and proceed to operate the GeoSnap system
