Calculate the Timestamp Offset
The time on your camera or data device must match the time in the track or GPS log
so the images or data display in the correct place. If they do not, you must calculate
a timestamp offset. If possible, do this before you use the GeoTagger Wizard.

Use these steps to calculate the timestamp offset before you use the GeoTagger
Wizard.

point in the file list.
The image or data timestamp displays in the Data Timestamp box.
