Images and/or GCPs are not positioned correctly on the Map View - PIX4Dmapper

Error Description: Images and/or GCPs do not lay at the correct position on the 2D Map. When importing in a project, images with geolocation (known coordinates) or GCPs (points with known coordinates) don't show the expected position on the 2D View.

There are two possible causes for this issue:

The image and/or GCP input coordinates are not correct.
The image and/or GCP selected coordinate system are not correct.

This article highlights a few of the most common solutions to aid the invalid position of the images and GCPs on the 2D View.

Verify if the image and/or GCP input coordinates are not correct.

Check that the coordinates are correct.
Check that the image geolocation file and/or the GCP georeference file have been correctly imported. For more information about the:
- Image geolocation file: Input files.
- GCP georeference file: Input files.

Verify if the selected image and/or GCP coordinate system are not correct.

Check that the correct coordinate system has been selected. For more information about the:

- GCP georeference file: GCPs coordinate system: How to select / change the Image / GCP / Output Coordinate System.

Note: Some coordinate systems can appear twice in the database with exactly the same name for the Datum and Coordinate System. One of them might be deprecated which might be the cause of the incorrect position.
