If the receiver just listen, how does it find the satellite? The logger also use gps chipset to communicate with the satellite and when it finds 3 or 4 satellites together, it will get a precise location data. And it will record this data at the time interval set up before. And some direct geotagging gps devices like mentioned above, EasyTagger GPS, do the same thing, just they got the cable to communicate with the camera.

@Tulio: Thanks for the explanation. We find ourselves having to describe the difference between the logger (receiver) we carry and what everyone associates with a GPS device — namely a transmitter/receiver that features maps and current position.

The GPS logger is just a receiver. It doesn’t talk to satelites, otherwise it would need stronger batteries. The satelites send time information. The receiver gets the time from several satelites. When the receiver is closer to one satelite, the other one is gonna look late, and that’s how the receiver knows where you are. It’s by knowing how fast the information takes to come from each satelite. That’s why the more satelites, the better. That’s it. Each satelite send the correct time: they just inform what time it is. The GPS receiver just listens.

Here is a product absolutely worth recommending. It is called Easytagger (www. e-geotag.com). For first, it can direct input GPS information into photos taken by certain Nikon cameras and no need for matching. Second, it has a 2 G TF card to store at least 2 years traits. Third it uses barometric altitude, you can get a very accurate height figures.

Great article! I like using GPicSync myself – I think the interface is better than the Sony GPS software.

You’re right, traveling with a laptop has its advantages and disadvantages. For us, it’s a necessity, but for shorter trips that’s a harder call.

If the trip is relatively short (i.e., less than 15 days), you could just take the GPS logs off the device after the trip. For longer trips without a laptop, you could hop into an internet cafe, connect the GPS device to the computer’s USB port and copy the files to a USB flash drive or CD/DVD (if you’re backing up photos anyway).

We just had an interesting experience this evening at the Hindu temple in Melaka, Malaysia. I have a feeling it’s just a small taste of what’s to come once we’re in India proper!
Have fun preparing for your next trip!
