Ilteris, Everyone will have a favorite recommendation, but my suggested approach:
- Lean towards an in-car device if you will be using your GPS in the car exclusively (natch). I take mine in the car, hiking, and on the motorbike, so use a handheld device (Garmin Rino) across the board. Generally, devices made for the dashboard have bigger screens and are geared more towards the navigation/POI functionality. Handheld devices require in-vehicle mounts and will have smaller screens; they also, as a broad rule of thumb, tend to store less basemap information. - You can use a bluetooth GPS receiver, but usually these are tied to navigation applications (e.g. Telenav) provided through your carrier. Logging caps will presumably vary accordingly. Investigate the complete stack before investing in a device. - Geostamping images via logging and EXIF is an established process. A quick search on 'exif geostamping' will provide all sorts of links to automated scripts, procedures, and the occasional GPS and Camera duct-tape job. Bon voyage; I'll be making a similar, but one way, trip later this summer. - Tyler On 5/22/07, ilteris kaplan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello List, I am going to do a cross country trip form NYC to SF this upcoming month for 15 days. We have a lot of destination points in our way. I am really excited about this journey since it's the first time I am going to see "other" side of the US. I am also looking possible ways of doing blogging and most importantly geotagging my pictures along the way. Let me summarize what I am looking for so that you can recommend me what kind of path I should follow regarding this. I have a Sony Digital camera which I am going to take most of my pictures. I am thinking to stay away from my phone's camera (Nokia n80). Instead I am seriously thinking to buy a GPS device and use its log to synch with my camera at the end of the journey(by looking and matching timestamps) so that I can add long/lat coordinates to images EXIF data. Is this possible? What kind of GPS device should I be looking for? What's your favourite one? My phone has bluetooth capabilities so I can use a bluetooth GPS device but then do I need a custom application on the phone in order to log this data? I would appreciate any help best, ilteris _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
