This did not work. None of the photos from my good camera uploaded to a waypoint even though they all had a time and gps stamp. I need to be able to upload phots from my good camera (it can't run Gaia) with time and gps stamps and have them become way points! Nor can I click on the photos to turn it into a way point. VERY frustrated with Gaia's poor and non-intuitive GUI.

I'm sorry your photos did not upload to the waypoint.
I've also sent an email with a few troubleshooting questions so we can look into this for you.

I am trying to add a photo and have it appear at the start of a track. The photo has a time stamp, but no location data. But when uploaded, it appears at the end, rather than the beginning of the track.

I believe we are working together on an issue related to adding photos to a track. Can you send me a shared link to this track that is having issues with in our email conversation so I can take a closer look?

I'm sorry you are having an issue uploading -add- photos to your route. Can you click 'Submit a Request' above to contact the support team with a link to your route and one of the photos so we can take a closer look?
Nathan, looks like it now works. I loaded in another route (same proceedure), and all of the photos loaded. Thanks.
