Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of CD-111: GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr for Digital Camera GPS Data Logger with Motion Sensor (51 ch. MTK, Windows and Mac Supported)
Customer Review: Very cool product, works well
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to document the hiking trips I'll be taking with my Nephew. The first day we went on an 8 hour hike through the mountains in Sitka, Alaska. It worked perfectly. Due to the terrain and elevation the sat signals would be dropped but quickly relocated. Just like any normal gps unit would. Uploading and syncing the pictures with the gps log is painless and easy.
I uploaded two pictures of the software to get an idea of what its like. Reading the other reviews made it seem like it was a really horrible program. I haven't had any problems and actually like it.
Customer Review: Not there yet
Summary: 2 Stars
Great idea but the software doesn't work well on a Mac and it's difficult to get the time stamps to sync with the camera if you're shooting a lot of photos. This means that locations don't match exactly with the photos. Also, the software repeatedly crashes and log files seem to get corrupted easily. Can't wait for GPS chips to be built directly into cameras (with no external attachments). What's holding things up with Nikon, Canon, et. al.?
Customer Review: One shortcoming; one advantage
Summary: 4 Stars
It works very well tagging photos (that is .jpg files). It DOES NOT deal with raw image files (at least not Nikon .nef files). BUT, you can export the log file in a standard text format and use another program like LOCR to tag the raw files directly.
Also, I plan to write some Excel macros to use the log data files to calculate the vertical feet I ski in a day, something I've looked for a GPS device to do for several years.

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good product. The finding house numbers bit is only as accurate as Google Map's technology, which is only approximate; however as far as actual location on the map, it does a very good job. I have even used it to show a trip route on a map.
Do download the latest software before you begin installation on your computer. The old software gives some problems on installation.
Great product!

This thing is just awesome. Auto power off in case you left it on and sitting somewhere, but the minute you move it, it's up and running again.
Con for Flickr uploads you have to use their software to upload and keep the geotagging.
But it has been faster and more stable than their uploader.
