This item would not work for me. I received several support e-mail messages from the manufacturer but they did not achieve the desired result; a working product. I returned the product.

Garbage!!!!!

 

Garbage!!!!!

I really wanted this to work but it is just an expensive paperweight as far as I'm concerned. I used it on a short trip so I could figure it out. It acquired satellite info OK on that trip in July but now when I turn it on it never can acquire a...

Doesn't work on RAW files

The product works well - on JPGs. Since I shoot RAW, I was very disappointed at the inability to add the GPS information 1st to my RAW photos' EXIF information as a group to be carried over to my post-processing conversion to JPG. I really didn't...

Cool device, probably the best on the market, but the GUI leaves room for improvement. It tracks your travels whether you are taking pictures or not which makes sense. Desert motorcycling or walking in the city are recorded with exact speed and ...

Great tool, but documentation is limited

As a Mac user, the documentation and instructions for using this product is rather limited. I had to explore on my own a few times to figure out how to use certain features. That said, I am very happy with the device. It does a good job of tracking...
