Sony
Releases GPS Tracker for Photos taken on Sony Cameras
 Sony Press Release Summary:
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 1, 2006 –Sony Electronics today announced a GPS
device that puts your pictures on the map.
Using time and location recordings from Sony’s GPS-CS1 GPS
device and the time stamp from a Sony digital still camera or
camcorder, photo buffs can plot their digital images to a map
and pinpoint exactly where they’ve been.
The 12-channel GPS unit is 3-½ inches long, weighs two ounces,
and is sold with a carabineer to easily attach to a backpack or
a belt loop.
“Whether you’re traveling to the Seven Wonders of the World, or
just wondering where to buy your next house, our new GPS device
can track your journey,” said David Johns, product manager for
digital camera accessories at Sony Electronics. “Adding a
geographic context to your digital images helps organize and
make use of your photos in entirely new ways.”
To arrange your pictures geographically, import the logged data
from the GPS device, using the supplied USB cable, and then
download the digital images to a computer. The supplied GPS
Image Tracker software synchronizes the images on your digital
camera with the latitude, longitude and time readings from the
GPS-CS1 device.
Once synchronized, your photos can become virtual push pins on
an online map by activating the Picture Motion Browser software
bundled with the latest Sony cameras and camcorders released
after July. You can easily add new photos and coordinates to the
mapping web site, courtesy of Google Maps, and showcase years of
globe-trotting.
The GPS-CS1 GPS device will be available next month for about
$150 at sonystyle.com, at Sony Style® retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail),
and at authorized dealers nationwide.
