Re: Re: Pentax GPS accessory
I know, I own a JOBO hot shoe GPS unit. If shutter speeds are faster thank sync speed, I just need to press a button to record the coordinates. Not a big deal. The software will alsos designate your shots to the nearest actual recordings, if not all your images (determined by the time of the shot) have a designated GPS reading. But I'd still buy a GPS unit that will write the GPS data directly into the image file - Nikon style. Meaning no after shooting GPS work.

For these sorts of on-camera GPS units, can you the human get useful data out of them real-time, or does it only talk to the camera? If I'm out shooting, and I'm not at a race track (and sometimes if I am), I generally have a hand held GPS unit with me to help my own navigation. So I have the tracks. I don't mind letting a program spend a few minutes branding GPS data from the tracks into the photos. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Pentax GPS accessory
yep that is what I have my eTrex Legend for - it upsets me somewhat though that the Oregon was announced just a few days after I bought mine and that once again just recently when I had to buy a smartphone the Garmin-Asus nüvifone A50 had just become unavailable from my cellular provider. free Garmin nav with lifetime nümaps for a device costing 35% less than the Defy would have been just too nice even with a 320x480 display as opposed to the Defy's ruggedized 854x480. then again I've thus far been too lazy to log with the eTrex and too conservative about (and wary of) exposing my wherewhenabouts on the iNet so I've yet to find use for it for myself - I practically never have time to reshoot, I don't offer anything location based that will earn me a single cent, and quite frankly these days I don't take many pictures, my DAD (Duplo A Day) tilt/shift architecture project is still on ground, my photography is overwhelmingly listless and underwhelmingly uninspired. but hey maybe taking a bookworthy pic for the annual could be a source of appetite I'll try my bloody hardest.

This seems like it would be a good application for blue tooth technology. That is, if only Pentax cameras were built with blue tooth capability.

That's exactly what some of these devices do. They simply record where you've been at some predetermined rate (likely every few seconds). Then back at home, software supplied with the device matches the images' EXIF times with your location log and updates the EXIF. So you shouldn't even need to attach the device to the camera really, just carry it in your pocket. In that case, it should be fairly straightforward to set up an Android (or iPhone) to record gps data periodically, and go from there. I tried to see if such a program already existed, but most of what I got was about using the internal camera. In a similar vein, I believe that the pc jack is not limited by shutter speed, as I've had several shots that didn't sync because the shutter speed was too high. In theory, one could buy a $10 bluetooth headset, wire the button to a pc sync cable so that every time you took a photo, the headset would send a ping to the android, then simply write an ISR that used that signal to look up gps location rather than dialing the phone. Using, of course, beer and pizza definitions of simple and straightforward. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Pentax GPS accessory
Bad idea IMO, siply because that would eat battery power like crazy, on both the logger and the camera. 2011/2/11 Glen Berry g...@glenvision.com: This seems like it would be a good application for blue tooth technology. That is, if only Pentax cameras were built with blue tooth capability. You would then only have to have the GPS unit near the camera, not connected to it.
