TRESORS

Using a Qstarz BT-Q1000P GPS travel recorder with a Mac « Shih Tung’s Wordpress Blog. Thanks to the wonders of Google Earth, I managed to get a fairly good fix on most of the more interesting photos I took in North Korea and even posted them on Panoramio. There were still a few places I couldn’t locate, however, and I figured there had to be an easier way than poring over satellite images. I settled on a Qstarz BT-Q1000 Platinum GPS travel recorder not so much because it was the best – there might be better/cheaper options if I were willing to mail order – but because I needed it the next day and I managed to buy it at retail near my office. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with it. The recorder itself works well – the hardware package is compact and picks up the signal easily. Comparing the tracks on Google Earth, accuracy is good enough, and in any case, I’m not sure whether the error is caused by Google Earth or by the Qstarz.

Battery life is enough for at least one day’s journey, and it uses Nokia-compatible batteries so if you need to, it’s easy to buy extra batteries. Transystem Inc. home. Richard's Tech Reviews: BT747 for Mac access to iBlue, iTrek and Qstarz GPS loggers. Summary There is good news and bad news. The good news is that I can add another GPS logger to the Mac compatible list: the MTK-chipset Qstarz BT-Q1000. Using the BT747 software and USB driver software, you can download the logs from the Qstarz. The bad news is that this capability doesn't extend to the GiSTEQ DPL700 PhotoTrackr Lite.

While it also has the MTK chipset, it uses a different USB-to-serial chipset. Details After reading my blog comments and the forums on gpspassion.com (particularly Discussing MTK receivers and Tips and Tweaks), I gradually clued in that it's possible to access a number of GPS loggers that use the MTK chipset using the Java software BT747. It is not yet something that's particularly easy for a non-technical user, I have to say. 1. This requires no special driver. 2. I installed the USB-to-serial driver, it's a simple install followed by a reboot. 3. Then I was into the software and it worked -- almost -- without a hitch.

Richard's Tech Reviews: Qstarz BT-Q1000 GPS logger review. Summary The Qstarz BT-Q1000 (available from Amazon.com ) is very well designed. In addition to being a sensitive GPS logger, it also has a Bluetooth mode. Both the packaging and the industrial design show a great deal of attention to detail. The only weak point is the software, which lacks the ability to download or extract GPS tracks from a particular date. Since the BT-Q1000 can hold tens of thousands of data points, this can mean a substantial amount of post-processing if you want to isolate particular track segments. As long as you don't need Mac compatibility, and If you don't mind using separate software for photo geocoding, I recommend this unit as the best logger I have tested so far. UPDATE 2007-12-15: If you're looking for a complete solution including the photo geocoding software, check out my review of the GiSTEQ DPL700 PhotoTrackr Lite. UPDATE 2007-12-20: I have found that the Q1000 is compatible with the Mac, using a USB driver and BT747 software.

Details Q12. GPS loggers and Macs: why can't we all get along? The state of the union between inexpensive GPS loggers and the Mac is not so good improving. As far as I know: The AMOD AGL3080 mounts as a USB drive on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and is therefore fully compatible.The Sony GPS-CS1 / GPS-CS1KA will mount as a USB drive but only on Intel Macs running OS X 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 (it doesn't work under Leopard 10.5 or 10.5.1) and is fully supported under Mac OS X 10.5.3 ONLYHowever note: the GPS-CS1 is obsolete. The new model that replaces it, the Sony GPS-CS3KA mounts as a USB drive under Mac OS X without any problems. Tested with OS X 10.4.11The Globalsat DG-100 uses a serial interface protocol and only works on Windowsthere is an initiative to get it to work using gpsbabelthere is an initiative to get it to work using LoadMyTracksa combination of C code and a USB driver is reported to work on a MacThe Qstarz BT Q-1000 only works on Windows is supported on Windows, and on Mac using BT747.

Mac GPS Geotagging Software – HoudahGeo & HoudahGPS – Holux M-241 Compatibility « Learning to Geotag. Note: I’ll be writing about the overall features and functionality of Houdah Software’s HoudahGeo geotagging application in the future, but to keep these posts manageable in size, I’m going to break things up and first address HoudahGeo’s compatibility with the Holux M-241 datalogger. Because this is a new site and a few of the early posts have been about the M-241, a fair number of the first visitors are ending up here due to Holux M-241 searches.

So I want to cover the M-241 compatibility aspect of HoudahGeo and HoudahGPS first. I intend to test a variety of GPS dataloggers, GPS software and GPS cameras with both the Mac OS and Windows operating systems as this site grows. Look for a general review of HoudahGeo’s features and performance soon. –HoudahGeo is a full featured commercial Mac geotagging software product that is also capable of importing GPS data from GPS recording devices, including some dedicated GPS dataloggers. So, does HoudahGPS work? Summarizing 1. Dan Savage [email] GPSRecorder for iPhone. Nikon D80 RAW .NEF GPS geotagging workflow on the Mac | trick77.com. I already wrote a few articles about how to use my preferred GPS logging device, the Holux M-241, on the Mac. In this article I’m focusing on the linking process between the GPS data and the photos. This process is called a geotagging workflow. Most of the time I’m taking pictures in RAW mode so the workflow is optimized for this type of images.

I’m using a Nikon D80 but the workflow should work with almost any other (Nikon) digital camera like the Nikon D200 or Nikon D300 too. Equipment/Tools needed for the Nikon D80 GPS logging device, e.g. the Holux M-241Software to extract GPS data from the GPS logging device. See here if you’re using a Holux M-241 GPS logger on the Mac.Aperture 2Ovolab GeoPhoto is one of the few tools available on the Mac which is able to process RAW photos from an Aperture project. It may all work well with other tools though. Things to do before you start shooting These steps may seem a bit tedious but they’re going to save you a lot of time later on. That’s it! Review: Geotagging software comparison for the Mac | trick77.com. Here’s a review of geotagging tools available as of today (July ’08). I tested all of them personally and tried to come up with a pro & con list on each of them. If you know a geotagging Mac application that’s not included on this list, please drop a comment.

Ovolab GeoPhoto GeoPhoto is an all-in-one solution for your geotagging workflow and probably the most feature rich geotagging application today for the Mac. Pros: Automatically geotags your photos using a GPS track log.Uses Google Earth (globe, 2D maps, satellite maps and terrain views) fully integrated into the application using the Google Earth APIHandles all sorts of photo formats including RAW camera files like Nikon NEF, Adobe DNG, Hasselblad 3FR, Pentax PEF and many more. Cons: No hi-rez imagery available for the Google Earth globe window.

Alexander's Blog » iBlue 747A+ GPS Logging Device. Traceur GPS i-Blue 747 A+ < Avis d'utilisateurs. Getting an i-Blue 747 GPS logger to work with OS X | Keys Corner.

I bought an i-Blue 747 GPS track logger recently. You can pick one up, new, on eBay for around 40 – 50 Euro. The idea is to use it to tag photos with their position – our cameras don’t have GPS receivers built in, and often when we get back from holiday, its difficult to remember where exactly we took which pictures. If you set the clock in the (digital) camera before you set off, the time-stamp from the GPS log, together with the position data allow you add the exact position of each photo to the EXIF data that the camera stores when each picture is taken.

The problem is, few GPS loggers come with any software for downloading and processing the track data on a Mac. Installing the USB Driver The i-Blue 747 uses a CP210x USB bridge chip. We are going to be trying out linking the track records to photos on a trip to Spain in the next month, and if I don’t get round to posting about that before we go, I’ll talk about it after we return.
