Thread: Cool gues what I got today

Nice! So I take it that it uses the trigger signal from the flash hotshoe to know when to capture the GPS data?

I've tried using a track plot from OziExplorer running on a laptop in the Defender with mixed success. The first issue is hunting through all the plot points to find the right time stamp, allowing for UTC and DLS time conversions. The second is, I'm not always with the car when I'm shooting.

Cool!

Does it work with the D80?

Oh, just googled it... you take the picture, it records the GPS and you merge the info on downloading. So I guess it does work with the D80

Good timing! Aperture 3 has just what you need..

Should have my upgrade by Friday

So DB, have you had much of a chance to play with it yet?

Have a look at OziPhotoTool for $25. I've been using one of the earlier versions, but admit I haven't tried the newer (non free) version, however the older one worked OK for matching the photo exif with the GPS. The newer version I believe will add the locn to the exif data (you only need to have the gps with you at the time, no need to have Ozi running on the laptop)

I usually have Ozi running as my SatNav in the Defender anyway so that's not a prob.

I tried the trial version of this one (or a very similar one) a while back but never paid for it and it expired. It sort of helped but I figured I could probably just write something that did the same job anyway (which I haven't yet. ) The real issue is that I need a new GPS mouse as the current has issues with staying synced up.

Here's an example of what I've done with it in the past.

I'm keen to hear how dullbird finds the GPS unit. These style of units to me don't do enough as I feel they only increase the workflow in downloading the camera images. But given the price of units like the GP-1 and di-GPS, they are certainly worth considering.
