Until GPS becomes a standard feature on digital cameras, customers are forced to rely on third party geotagging solutions to tag personal photos to the locations in which they were taken. Geotagging is the process of adding geographical data to various media such as photos, movies, etc. While we have to wait for digital cameras to catch onto geotagging, there are some third party companies that offer geotagging solutions that we can use today. One such company is GiSTEC and they sell the PhotoTrackr USB Flash Drive.

The PhotoTrackr USB Flash Drive allows users to sync their digital cameras to the PhotoTrackr drive and GPS tag their photos. This means that the next time you go out on a camping or hiking trip and take pictures, you can have the exact GPS location of where those photos were taken so that if any friends of family with to visit the same spot, they can! Or you can years later look back at the pictures you took and plan a follow up trip.

So here is how it works, the first thing you need to do is synch the PhotoTrackr USB Flash drive to your digital camera. This will allow PhotoTrackr to synch your photos with the GPS location based on when you took the photos. You then take photos of your travels. The PhotoTrackr USB can hold up to 3-4 weeks of data under normal usage. Next you transfer the PhotoTrackr data as well as your photos onto your PC or Mac. The PhotoTrackr program on your PC or Mac will then automatically geotag your photos for you. It’s that simple!

Here at Premium USB we are always on the lookout for new technology to add to our custom USB drives, which is why the PhotoTrackr USB drive caught our eye. Their innovative solution to allow all people with digital cameras to geotag their photos is truly unique.
