GPS linked photos of benthic cover transect surveys in Heron Reef

The output of this process was an ArcMap point shapefile, a Google Earth KML file and a thumbnail of each benthic photo taken. The data in the ArcMap shapefile and in the Google Earth KML file consisted of the approximated coordinate of each benthic photo taken during the survey. Using the GPS Photo Link extension within the ArcMap environment, opening the ArcMap shapefile will enable thumbnail to be displayed on the associated benthic cover photo whenever hovering with the mouse over a point on the transect.

By downloading the GPSPhotoLink software from the www.geospatialexperts.com, and installing it as a trial version the ArcMap extension will be installed in the ArcMap environment.
