I have now recieved my Columbus V900 GPS trakcer. Great little thing. http://www.blog-shmog.com/2009/01/04/columbus-v900-an-in-depth-review
The software that comes with it actually CAN geotag the images, quite easily. (the info can be seen, if you click on "file info" in Photoshop. Only problem is, that the clock in the camera must be set to "satelite time", meaning you need to set the camera clock to the same time as the clock on the internet - which you get from you computer. The software does - however allow you to transform you images to annother recording time, so your GPS track will correspond with your image files. I can recommend using this to anyone who want to know where the pictures where taken. Especially since this tagging device for images is the only on available, that comes with a memory card (Micro SD) - so can can store millions of Waypoints - maybe fro a journey that last a long time. It also has a battery saving mode (spy mode) that allows the thing to track for 30 days without charging the battery. The thiong comes with a lot of software - to set the clock - to edit EXIF data (NICE) and to show your journey on Google maps - including showing your photographs along the way. A I work as a planning photographer I find it very nice to be able to make a slide show on a map. And I can geotag my images for the benefit of other picture users/customers. By the way: I tag all my images, for archiving purposes, in Fotostation 6.0 Regards Jens -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
