JESUITS – gadget @ TTS -EP63- Pharos GPS Trips and Pics

Featured Video


www.thetechstop.net Are you adrift in a sea of digital pictures? — If so, you need to take a look at the Pharos “Trips and Pics” — a GPS ‘geotagging’ system that might be the ultimate in vacation photo collecting. The Pharos Trips & Pics is a self-contained geotagging package complete with GPS receiver, battery and interface software. About the size of two stacked matchboxes, the Trips and Pics is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and light enough (only .15 lbs) to be hung around your neck. Pharos is known for high-quality GPS devices and the Trips and Pics is no exception. The GPS receiver has an integrated patch antenna, 20 channel tracking and a 24 hour battery. It also has enough memory to log up to 45 days worth of GPS fixes. Trips and Pics is compatible with any digital camera and the software will automatically tag each picture, placing them on your map of choice. — We used it with Google earth and were rewarded with a visual representation not only of our travels, but of the location of each and every single on of our photos. Since it uses the time stamp of the photos and compares them against the time stamp of the GPS receiver log entries, each picture is placed on the map exactly where it was taken. The end result was that we had a fantastically detailed map of our path around the island, and a neatly organized trip photo album. If we wanted to, we could share this album with the world, or just with our friends — This changes the paradigm of the family

    Like all GPS devices… it really varies depending on the composition of the building. I’ve had really good luck with the Pharos inside wood-frame houses, but no GPS is going to work inside a steel and concrete tomb.

    tbenefi33,

    I’m glad you liked the review… and I’ve had great results with my Pharos. There is always something nice about being able to retrace your tracks after a long trip.

    Peace,

    That is a very interesting way to file your pictures. It also gives you a visual of where you were, which for me is great. I often forget where I took my pictures, but for me at this moment, I’m sticking to my LOLCATS and graphic design pictures. :P I have no good digital camera.

    dudekid… that is actually something we’re trying to work on. I know that I sometimes get overly-enthusiastic about the tech and that attitude doesn’t always make for a good review. — I promise to keep trying if you promise to keep watching! :)
