GPS Tagging Device for Any Camera with a Hot Shoe – Hot Damn
March 16th, 2007 10:07 PM | by Christen da Costa | 12 Comments
Looking very ‘radar detector’, this device, the Photo GPS by Jobo, records time, data, longitude, latitude, street name, country, zip code, and nearest point of interest every time you snap a photo. Sony released a similar product for its line of digital cameras. Mounts to any camera with a flash hot shoe (think SLR style only), and will be available this summer for $149. I am left wondering how it coordinates with the camera’s photos once downloaded, but there must be some included software to streamline the process. Does it work with analog cameras as well? Doesn’t look like they’ve added the product to their site just yet.

From the link: Just like SOny’s GPS-CS1->postprocessing. Next question: do you *have* to flash???? For it’s mounted on the flash seat…

The photoGPS includes a PC and MAC compatible DVD that contains both the software and the database needed to post-process the information captured by the unit. Post-processing is highly automated: Users simply download the captured GPS data via the built-in USB interface and enter the directory name of the folder where the corresponding pictures are stored. The user’s computer can then compare the EXIF time recorded by the camera and the GPS time recorded by the photoGPS. When a match is found the program updates the Longitude and Latitude EXIF fields
I hope it works as easy as the Ricoh Caplio SE500 with WLAN. Point & shoot and upload the photos FROM THE CAMERA to your website. Add some PHP and you have a google map. See http://www.poi66.com how they do this.
Is it on sale now. GPS for camera, I just knew that solmeta technology released a product like that. a little expensive than jobo’s . If you get interests in it, please visit http://www.solmeta.com
This is a great page. And the contents are really that worth reading. I will add this to my own library
