GeoTag Your Photos While You Shoot - With This Cool Gadget

Taking pictures can be fun, but tagging them with the limited memory you have is a pain. How about tagging them with precision?, with which latitude and Longitude the picture was taken? - this is made easy with the GPS Tracker equipment for your camera[like the Place This Photo On A Map of Flickr]. Any model with a Date/Time facility would be ready for use with this wonderful little gadget.

It looks cool, much like your "Thumb Drive" it humbly hangs on your bag or trouser loop, and keep track of where ever you go on this earth! I like the design of this device, it is much simple and trendy with no complications at all. I mean it, no complications, just one button and that is it! Hard to believe, here is how it works:

1. Switch it on, wait to receive (GPS) signals. A green LED light flashes once, slowly.
2. No cables, no hassles, dig out your digital camera, and start shooting.
3. It actually works without any connection, so you have to Sync your photos on a daily basis or in short intervals. (I think this is a little mad idea, but for the cheap cost of the GPS unit, I'm OK with it)
4. Once you finish the day's shoot, you can import the pictures to your PC with your favorite software(Google Picasa or Adobe Photoshop or Just Windows XP/Vista).
5. Connect the GPS Device with given USB cable, download the LOG files with the GPS software.
6. An Image Tracker software supplied with the unit makes it easier for you to match your pictures with the recorded data. The verified positioning information is written to the Image Headers.

The Gadget: Sony Style - GPS-CS1 - Digital Camera Digital Photo Mapping Tool (Geo Tag)

Pros: It is cheap, it works without wires.

Cons: It is frustrating that you have to get to work at the end of every photo shoot or the day to sync your pictures and Geotag them!

Runs on batteries that can last for just 10-14 hours(NiMH)

Note: This is no replacement for the Red hen systems, and so do not compare it with the Red Hens. Red hen systems are for the professional and research photographers, and no one would like to through so much dough on them for fun.
