Geotag using ATP GPS solution

I’ve decided to take it easy today. I’m weathering the blog storm around yesterday’s Macworld 2008 conference. As is typically the case, it’s impossible to get anything heard overtop of the cries about the latest Apple iPod, iPhone, or iLaptop (yes, I know there’s no such thing… yet).

Instead, I’ll just tell you about this little ATP GPS gadget that I stumbled across the other day.

If you like geotagging, but you don’t like the idea of paying a lot for a handheld GPS, or your camera doesn’t have a direct GPS connection, you can opt for this $150 device called the GPS Photo Finder.

How it works is you carry this device while you take shots. It records the time and GPS information. Then when you’re done shooting, you insert your card (SD/MMC or MemoryStick Duo) or plug your USB into it, and it will match the time from your JPEG’s with the time on the GPS track log and embed that data into your JPEG’s EXIF.
