MTK, Windows and Mac Supported) at Amazon.com. CD-111: GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr for Digital Camera GPS Data Logger with. It's unfortunate that geotagging is not yet a standard feature on DSLRs and higher end point and shoot.

The GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr DPL900 is a small GPS device that is bundled with software to allow you to simply and quickly add location information to your digital photos. How it works is that you set the clock on your digital camera. When you go out to take pictures, you turn on the GPS, and carry it with you. It is quite small and light, and comes with a lanyard so that you can wear it like a pendant around your neck. Mini DPL900 Size Comparison When you are finished, the software matches up the timestamps that the camera puts into each photo with the track that the GPS device recorded. It inserts the latitude and longitude where the picture was taken into the metadata for the picture.

For most camera formats, the location information is stored in what are called EXIF tags, which are part of the image file, but do not show up in the actual image. The GPS device doesn't keep track of where it is every instant; instead, it captures a location every so often, called a waypoint, and stores it in its internal memory. The DPL900 can store up to 250,000 waypoints, and you can choose how often it captures the waypoints. I used one per 30 seconds, so it would take about three months to fill up.

The DPL900's battery can run for about 17 hours between charges when taking readings continuously, so for my settings, it should run for days before needing a recharge. The GPS device is too thick to fit into the USB ports of a MacBook Pro sitting flat on a desk; you have to prop the MBP up a bit on one side. Mini DPL900 with USB Port Exposed The Software The PhotoTrackr Mini comes with a rebranded version of the JetPhoto photo management software. In addition to GeoTagging, the software supports basic cropping, editing, and uploading to Flickr or JetPhoto's servers.

You can also create a slide show or a flash movie from your photos, and show the location of the pictures using Google Maps. PhotoTracker 4.7.1 Opening Screen Aside from the lack of Undo or Revert, there is nothing wrong with the JetPhoto software, but it is not comparable to iPhoto, Picasa, Aperture, or Lightroom.

PhotoTracker 4.7.1 Edit Screen If you've already put a lot of photos into another photo management program, you may not want to switch GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr, but the geo-tagging feature is compelling. PhotoTracker 4.7.1 Thumbnail View It is very easy to add location information to a set of pictures.

After importing the images into the PhotoTrackr software, you plug the GPS device into a USB port, and tell it to tag the selected photos. Once you have done that, PhotoTrackr can show you where you took each picture.

If the device missed the location, you can always add it manually. PhotoTracker 4.7.1 Map View What I did was to import the photos into PhotoTrackr, add the geo-tagging information, and then drag them into iPhoto, and delete them from the PhotoTrackr album. It's a shame that there is no integration with these other photo managers and the geo-tracking features of the PhotoTrackr Mini. The Downside The Windows software that comes with the PhotoTrackr allows you to automatically set the clock of your camera by plugging it into your computer.

This is a nice feature, but it is not implemented in the Mac version. I tested PhotoTrackr 4.7.1.G, which requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, but if you want to tag and use RAW files you must upgrade to PhotoTrackr Pro, which is a $20 upgrade, even though Mac OS X includes support for many different RAW formats. Another problem is the mini-CD on which the software ships, so you must download the software from GiSTEQ's web site.

Mac users beware; do not attempt to use the mini-CD unless you have a CD tray loading Macintosh. Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which - regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall - can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. The Apple Store app for iPhone, which periodically rewards users with free app gifts, is now offering the iPhone 'Pocket' version of drawing app Procreate for those who have the free Apple Store app until July 28.

Users who have redeemed the offer by navigating to the 'Stores' tab of the app and swiping past the 'iPhone Upgrade Program' banner to the 'Procreate' banner have noted that only the limited Pocket (iPhone) version of the app is available free, even if the Apple Store app is installed and the offer redeemed on an iPad. The Pocket version currently sells for $3 on the iOS App Store. Porsche adds CarPlay to 2017 Panamera Porsche has added a fifth model of vehicle to its CarPlay-supported lineup, announcing that the 2017 Panamera - which will arrive in the US in January - will include Apple's infotainment technology, and be seen on a giant 12.3-inch touchscreen as part of an all-new Porsche Communication Management system. The luxury sedan starts at $99,900 for the 4S model, and scales up to the Panamera Turbo, which sells for $146,900. Other vehicles that currently support CarPlay include the 2016 911 and the 2017 models of Macan, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman. The company did not mention support for Google's corresponding Android Auto in its announcement.

Apple employees testing wheelchair features New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the 'time to stand' notification to 'time to roll' and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users Twitter has introduced 'stickers,' allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts.

Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser.
