Stuff magazine

 

You wake wearing a bin liner and a vague recollection of dancing La Macarena in your underwear. Not to worry – your geotagging Sony GPS-CS1 will have the location of every sordid snap you took

There are better featured packages around but few are as foolproof as the Sony. It's time for geotagging to go mainstream

The CS1KA is an updated version of the CS1 and is only different in that it is compatible with more up to date cameras including the Sony H7 and H9 prosumer models.

Useful for tracking locations; Saves time on noting location details

Lacks export options for maps

GPS-CS1

 

For photographers on the move, Sony's GPS-CS1 records your location while shooting, enabling you to incorporate this data into how you use your photos.

Unique function. Unit works perfectly.

Niche applications. GPS has problems in high-rise areas.

The GPS-CS1 is a niche tool, but it works well if you can find a use for it

Sony GPS-CS1

 

Ever look at a shot and wonder "when did I take that'".With digital cameras it's easy to check the shooting date.Now a new gadget from Sony also lets you check the PLACE you took a picture.

Sony Cyber Shot GPS-CS1 review: Sony Cyber Shot GPS-CS1

 

Sony Cyber Shot GPS-CS1

Simple to use; lots of potential for hacks.

Requires camera's clock to be set; few controls or display; minimalist bundled software; accuracy is unpredictable.

This simple little gizmo can be indispensable in geotagging your photos, if the terrain's right and you're willing to be creative.
