I May Never Forget Where A Photo Was Taken Again

I accidentally ran across one of the neatest gadgets, the kind of thing you didn’t know you needed until you saw. I take thousands of photos and after a while I forgot where exactly I had taken the photograph at. I’m fairly certain it’s Alzheimer’s on the installment plan. With Google Maps, Google Earth and Flickr all allowing you to geotag your photographs on maps I had wanted to do the same thing with my “New Years Resolution” project, but I if I had to go into too many steps of recording the data while I was taken the photo it just wouldn’t going to happen.

Now enter the ATP Photo Finder, a GPS device to help you record all the data. The steps are fairly simple, first you synchronize your camera’s time with the time on the unit. Then whenever you are out taken photos you just make sure the GPS is on and start clicking away and later when you’re done insert the camera’s memory card into the GPS and it records the geotag info to the photo files. I had seen that Nikon had a similar device that was a little too pricey for a pet project, but the ATP Photo Finder coming in just under $80 makes this unit an affordable option. The unit and software make creating a .kml file a simple task.
