If you supply a GCP file called `gcp_list.txt` then WebODM will automatically detect it. If you have a gcp file and want to do georeferencing with exif instead, then you can specify `--use-exif`. If you have high precision GPS measurements in your images (RTK) and want to use that information along with a gcp file, you can specify `--force-gps`.

### Marking Checkpoints
63+
64+
Checkpoints are used for checking the accuracy of the reconstruction. They are left out from the reconstruction process and are instead used to measure the accuracy of the results at the end.

You can mark a checkpoint by labeling it with the prefix `CHK-`. For example:
