4 out of 5 stars Overall good product.......2007-12-27

The good:

- Performs as promised
- Good GPS positioning, also tracks altitude
- Does good job of locking onto and holding GPS signal
- Software (ver 2.1) has a lot of advanced features.
- Compact and lightweight device
- Once you get it set up and figure out the software, its easy to use.

The bad:

- Software installation is confusing. Software, Drivers, and Firmware that ship with device were very outdated and updating all of these was a bit painful.
- Even though the software has a lot of modern and advanced features, it has the look and feel of a program that was designed about 6 to 8 years ago.
- The 1/2 page manual that shipped with the product is pretty bad. There is a PDF manual with the software that is a bit better.
- Some of the sounds the unit makes are right up there with fingernails on a chalkboard (thankfully they can be disabled). The voice prompts the unit gives are a bit cryptic.

Conclusion:

The device and software do not have the polished look and feel of something that would come from a major electronics company. However, I'm pleased with the product and would recommend it. Just give yourself a little extra time for installation and figuring out the software.

3 out of 5 stars Photo Tracker is a good idea.......2007-08-08

I was disappointed with this item. It doesn't work with Mac's so I had to send it back. I also found the instructions for set up - we tried it on our other computer - to be confusing. But the good news is that, that is easy to fix if the company wants to do it.

4 out of 5 stars Good tracker.......2007-07-13

I've used it during a 3 weeks trip around Europe.
Good reception and reasonable cold start. Tested it side to side with a garmin NUVI and this device was able to recover the lost signal when coming out of a tunnel as quick as the Garmin.
Position is quite accurate, though sometimes it creates a "spike" on the map when loosing the signal (eg when going inside a building).
Software is ok for tagging but somehow basic whith other features. I prefer the more advanced features of jetphoto, so I invested another $25 on that software and now I have the perfect combination. Because of the software I only give it 4 stars, the hardware deserves full 5 stars.

4 out of 5 stars A great device.......2007-06-07

I pre-ordered this and got it soon after the release and can't think of a reason to never use it. This is not just a photo tracker, but a full-fledged GPS tracker with excellent battery life. Think of the fun, hide it in a car of someone you don't quite trust and then retrieve it later. The software uses Google Maps to route tracker, and it matches the time code on digital pictures to the time code on the GPS files. If you go inside a building, the signal will be lost, but the software is smart enough to assume you're in the same place. The pictures upload to Flickr with a couple clicks and so long as you hard encode the GPS data to the picture files, Flickr will map them for the world to see.

This works with any camera, because all you have to do is match the time.

Also included in the box is a travel adapter, which is a USB charger that plugs into a car outlet, a home charger, and the needed cables. This works perfect in pockets, bags, and picks up a signal faster than my Garmin car unit.

This is the best device until a camera is released with a built-in GPS tracker.

    I have only used the GiSTEQ a few times. It works as a good tool for finding where you have been. The online maps are generally accurate until you are in a rural area, then you have to figure out the names of streets and locations from the local county maps. The road I live on has been here for years but it and many other roads in rural Alabama are incorrectly named. I wonder if the maps were drawn by an Auburn Grad?

    4 out of 5 stars Great concept, still rough edges.......2007-09-26

    The actual receiver works pretty well (if you get over the fact that it blinks way too much like a disco light), and does exactly what it's supposed to do. However the software that comes with it, is still kind of rough. If you don't mind unpolished startup-company software, and enejoy having the latest gadget, then this is a fun product. If on the other side you need rock-solid workflow, and it just needs to work, because you don't have seconds to spare, then I don't recommend it.

    I turn the device on and stick into my photo bag (may want to choose location carefully, since it's easy to turn off accidentally when sticking in your back pocket). After the shoot I download the pictures, and then download the GPS data and match the two up. The GPS software creates XMP side-car files for my raw files, which my other software recognizes. In the software it shows the locations of the pictures on a Google Map, which is neat.

    The one good thing is that the software really is just an add-on to your workflow, it doesn't try to take it over. That makes the rough edges a lot more tolerable.
