pocketgpsworld.comGPS Photo loggers which allow you to add geotag information to your pictures are the current 'must have' gadget, indeed we have reviewed a fair few already. ATP's Photofinder however, approaches this market segment from a new angle.

Whereas the majority of solutions to date have required dedicated software that links the data gathered by the photo logger to the photographs taken, ATP's unit has an SD card slot into which you insert a memory card containing photographs. the unit then writes the location data it has logged into the EXIF data for each photograph.

ATP's novel approach means you can use commercial photo packages that are EXIF aware and that can read location data, a much better option in my opinion. The unit also includes full data logger functionality with sufficient memory to store 550 hours worth of log data.

I like the idea of the card adaptor (both my cameras use XD) - any ideas how much these are on top of the logger itself?

You can use any card reader, the device comes with a short mini-USB to USB A Female cable. All you need do is plug the card reader, memstick or whatever into that cable and the cable into the ATP Photofinder for any card connected to the car reader to be accessible by the unit. (it's in the review Wink )

This looks just the job for a forthcoming motorbike tour of Turkey - but the battery life seems a little sparse and expensive for all day riding. Does the unit accept rechargable cells?

The biggest problem that I see with this device is its unique ability to write to a memory card. I want a copy of all my photos before anything changes any data in them. I hope this is recommended loud and clear in the manual otherwise I expect there will be a few annoyed users of it.

Would it be too naughty to point out that the MyGuide M.iTagger which is about to be released has a 2 week battery life if set to 5 seconds and up to 4 weeks for longer intervals?
Released in November at £59.99 and available from Maplin!

Yes it would, now go stand in the corner and consider the error of your ways!

I bought one of these based on the review and used it to tag my pictures of villas in Cyprus last week. We rent holiday villas at www.cypruspropertyvillas.com and I am aiming to show people exactly where their villa is rather than "a short walk to the beach".

Basically it does what it says on the tin. Two major faults though. Where customers were in a villa and I was only doing a location external shot the logger faileed to get a signal in time and I was often hanging around waiting for it to fix (and trying to read a tiny dim screen in bright sunlight). It was better off the belt loop and placed in a prominent position, but I ended up losing because of this - left on a wall at the end of a long day :-(

The battery life on duracells is well under a day, which is annoying.

So in conclusion, I will get another logger, but perhaps not this one.

HTH
