Note: This chapter describes how to configure an edit layer for uploading geotagged images. General information about the configuration of edit layer please find in chapter Edit Layers.

Define an edit layer for that layer which will be used for creating new point features for every uploaded geotagged image. These point features will be filled with information from the image file, regarding the EXIF header (exchangeable image file format). Be sure that the used feature class is a point feature class (no multipoint, no polygon, etc.) and is saved in a feature dataset using WGS84.

In order to be able to save image information of the uploaded files in an attribute table of the point feature class several fields have to be prepared in the feature class. All fields that will be used for saving image information need a specific field type.

The following attribute types are supported:

EXIF Field	Eigenschaft	Feldtyp
Image Description	description of the image	String
model	model of the camera	String
date time	date and time of the picture	Date
altitude	height above sea level	Double
speed	speed	Double
img direction	direction of the image	Double
latitude	latitude	Double
longitude	longitude	Double

Additionally, there have to be prepared two attribute fields for uploading geotagged images which will hold the original and the storage filename (name which is given by the application during uploading process (GUID)):

Uploadfile	Eigenschaft	Feldtyp
storage filename	id that is used to save the image in the upload folder	String
original filename	original image name	String

Note: If one of the named fields has configured an incorrect field type the tool will not be available.
