In GPS Mapping Studio, there are multiple ways to add a photo. You can create one manually from the photo list, or click on the map to store a photo on the current mouse position. The easiest way is by clicking on the map. We will demonstrate in a few steps how to do this.
Zoom and pan over the map until you find the position you want to place a photo. Click the right mouse button, when pointing the mouse to the position, and select the "Add Photo..." option. The "Add Photo" window will appear.

You will notice that the position of the photo is already filled. In this window, you can add a name and comment to store with the photo. Also, you have to select an image file by clicking the "Browse..." button. At this moment, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIF and PNG files are supported. Please note that only the path to the image is stored in the project file. In case of a backup, you have to backup the image files manually. Once the images are moved or deleted, the images can no longer be viewed from the map.
Use this field to set an unique name for your photo. This name is also displayed on the map below the camera icon. It is not possible to create more then one photo with the same name.
These positions are prefilled when you create the photo by right clicking on the map. If you are creating the photo from the photo list, the current position is used. You can change these fields to display the Northing and Easting position using the currently selected local grid (if set), by checking the "Show position in Northing / Easting coordinates" check box.
