P-10 Pro POI Button, GPX Log File Format, and Geotagging Photos
Quote from GPSWebShop Official on June 9, 2026, 10:46 pmCustomer asked:
I have a Columbus P-10 Pro. I was reading the quick start guide and noticed that it states the POI button only works with CSV files. Is this correct?
I was planning to use GPX files for easier compatibility with the Adobe Lightroom Classic Map module, and I would prefer not to convert the files.

Quote from GPSWebShop Official on June 9, 2026, 10:47 pmYes, that is correct. The POI button is used to mark a point on the recorded track as a Point of Interest in the CSV file format. Since the GPX format does not support POI marking in the same way, this function only applies to CSV files.
Adobe Lightroom Classic uses a different method when importing GPX files. It does not require users to manually mark points of interest. Instead, Lightroom imports the continuous GPS track recorded during the photo shoot and matches the location data to each photo based on its timestamp.
You simply need to turn on the P-10 Pro when you start taking photos. There is no need to press the POI button on the device. The P-10 Pro will continuously record the track at a 1 Hz refresh rate.
After the trip, import both the GPX track file and the photos taken during that time into the Map view in Adobe Lightroom Classic. Then adjust the time zone and time offset as needed so Lightroom can correctly match the GPS track to the photo timestamps.
