The GPS looks nice. The accompanying software does not support adding of geolocation data to raw files. Only JPG is supported. From a first glance, however, I think the data from the GPS can be read by GeoSetter. That solves the raw file issue. :-) Jostein 2009/11/25 William Robb

Had a look at the Jobo unit a while ago, and concluded that the only extra benefit it brought was to synchronise GPS readings to the moment of _a_ exposure. You'd still need to synch the clocks in the units, and still need to merge the GPS and image data in a computer to find out _which_ exposure.
