On this Turn The Table Tuesday Leo Talks About His New GPS Photo Tracker

TTTT, Tuesday, August 25^th, 2009 Netcast 902

The AMOD AGL3080 Data Logger is not for everyone. But for folks who take a lot of photos in dozen of out of the way locations, this device is an easy way (so says Leo) to Geo-tag their pictures. I have to be honest. I do most of my shooting in big cities. So when I look at a photo and see the Brooklyn Bridge, I kind of know where I took it. But Leo goes everywhere and shoots photos with very high-end cameras. Notice I don’t even use the word “pictures”! Leo shoots ‘photos’! But he doesn’t always remember exactly where he shot them. That’s where the AGL3080 GPS Data Logger/Photo Tracker comes in. It’s about the size of a small cell phone and although it doesn’t attach to the camera it keeps track of where the photographer is. It can record more than 1 million data points to provide location information for digital photos (in EXIF 2.0 or later format) from all digital cameras and camera phones. There is a process that Leo described (and I didn’t understand) of how you match the info from the Data Logger with the photos you’ve taken. But if you want one of these, you probably know how it works. It works with Mac and Windows with true USB plug and play functionality – according to the manufacturer! Leo bought his on Amazon for under $60.
