# Geotag Images

[SmartAP autopilot](/avionics/legacy-autopilots.md), along with SmartAP GCS, allows users to precisely geo tag images for further post-processing. When the camera feedback pin is connected to the autopilot, the autopilot detects the exact moment the picture was taken and engraves this information into the log file. It contains the following information:

* ID - image sequence number
* Latitude - latitude location of the image
* Longitude - longitude location of the image
* Altitude - altitude of the image (MSL - above mean sea level)
* Roll - roll of aircraft
* Pitch - pitch of aircraft
* Yaw - yaw of aircraft

To geotag images, download the log file. Then open SmartAP GCS and open the left side menu:

And go to `Plot` tab:

![](/files/-MTNG-spj_92EKGI_4MX)

Click the `Options` menu in the top-right corner and click `Open log file...`

![](/files/-MTNG-socnta-M87ewtm)

You can also simply drag and drop the desired log file into the "Logs" pane. Once the file is open, locate the`CAM_TRIGGER` group on the right panel.

Select the checkboxes for the fields you would like to export. Normally, all fields are recommended for further processing. Once selected - click `Options` and click `Export CSV`.

![](/files/-MTNG-sl80nU9Zaiz0rC)

Then you select the folder destination that you'd like the log file to be exported to. After that you can open the file with any file editor and check its content:

![](/files/-MTNG-sn-i3BiaNW0yIJ)

Later, this information can be used for further post processing and map stitching.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sky-drones.com/flight-operations/smartap-gcs/geotag-images.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
