4.0 out of 5 stars Works great but steep learning curve.
REally wanted to get into the Geotagging and this unit works well once you figure out the very cumbersome software. The included software is set up to allow you to organize your photos in the Gisteq software. It would be better if you it just changed the Meta Data and let you import it into Aperture or light room. Once you do figure it all out though it works well. I...

3.0 out of 5 stars Works, but difficult to figure out
I bought this for a safari in Tanzania.

First mistake- I should have bought the kind that takes AA or AAA batteries because charging was a hassle. Not that I didn't have to charge my camera batteries, but having to charge multiple things every night was a challenge.

This device worked, and I've successfully geo-tagged thousands of photos. I...

This device worked, and I've successfully geo-tagged thousands of photos. I love being able to see where we went every day. But it wasn't easy. The instruction manual is lacking. It took me a couple days to figure out how to mute the silly thing.

If you're pretty tech savy, this is fine. But I think most people wouldn't be able to figure this out.

Once you do figure it all out though it works well. I was also able to carry the unit around in the bottom of my backpack and it was able to link onto the satellites and give me good data. For the price I would recommend this unit. Though I wish they would fix their software.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR MACS!!!, October 30, 2008

This review is from: GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr (CD110BT) - Bluetooth Version (Electronics)
This product DOES NOT WORK FOR MACS! I got it home and there was NO WAY to use it on a Mac. When you go on the GisTeq support site, surprise surprise, the boards are filled with pissed Mac people telling their stories about how support won't respond to this problem at all.

On the bright side. the GearStore was very nice about taking this product back.

If you want to do photo GeoTagging on your Mac, get an AMOD, drag and drop the tracks to your Mac, translate the file to GPL XML using GPS Babel, then use GPSPhotoLinker to embed the geodata in your photos. It's super-simple and works for any RAW files you shoot (I assume JPEGs too). Travel the world, meet people, spread the message of peace!
