sony-GPS-CS1-995.jpgSony just announced just announced GPS-CS1 tracking device which keeps track of time and your coordinates. When this data is combined with your digital pictures on your PC it will look at the timestamp of each image and create an interactive geotagged map. To accomplish this though, you’ll have to use digital pictures coming from a Sony digital camera and you’ll need their proprietary software. For example, to synchronize the images on your digital camera with the latitude, longitude and time readings from the GPS-CS1 device you’ll need the GPS Image Tracker software and to create virtual push pins on an online map for your photos you’ll need the Picture Motion Browser software which will be bundled with the latest Sony cameras and camcorders released after July.

The GPS-CS1 uses a 12-channel GPS receiver and measures 3-½ inches long, weighs two ounces, and is sold with a carabineer to easily attach to a backpack or a belt loop.

    I think this is a step in the right direction. Finally the big guys are seeing the benefit of geotagging photos and try to provide the functionality to the normal user.

    That’s what http://triptracker.net/ has been trying to do all along.
