Customer Reviews

GPS Tracking works exactly as expected.
This little GPS tracking unit works exactly as described. You switch it on, give it a few minutes to locate itself, hang it of off somewhere convient and forget about it. Go for a walk, snap some shots. When you get back upload the photos to the PC and plug in the GPS unit. Tell the software which GPS track to use and where to find the photos and it updates each one with the actual coordinates of the place it was taken. Upload to a geographically sensitive site and see you phots on the map.

I'd prefer that it was a bit more obvious when it was traking or not, a single light either flashes once or twice. I also prefer that everything was not written under the assumption that you are using a Sony camera, this works fine with any camera that time stamps each photo, but the software persists in generating unnecessary warning messages.

On the whole I was very impressed with this, I'd been expected the usual hour or so of messing around to get it to work, but so long as you just click through the warning messages no problems at all, takes about 2 minutes to run.
