Based on GPS Time

Based on Shooting Time
Compares GPX points with the shooting time in photos. An allowed range (seconds) can be specified. The shooting time (local time) depends on the accuracy of the camera clock. If it is within the allowed time range, it is treated as the same time.
Based on GPS Position
