hello this is Rob from a4a com
with a quick review of the Columbus be
900
GPS data logger and photo tagger
so this is a tiny little device to you
can take with you
it will record your GPS position and
then
later using the software you can then
use that data to embed
latitude and longitude GPS data into
photographs
so that when you buddy photographs to
I'm
places like a cash-strapped war Flickr
or submit them I'm to Google a
will buchanan Google app even they
appear
on the map where you actually took them
at the time they can also act as a GPS
receiver
for a a laptop for smartphone
because it's got built in Bluetooth
support as well
and you can also use it as a GPS
longer and the fact you can put into
something cold I think they call it a
stealth mode
well what will happen then is it will
just record so you could put it in the
car
or something like that and then when you
retrieve the device you can then
download the data
and Siebers been I'm
big square news in fact that it also has
a built-in
I'm voice recorder as well and
again what you can do is you can just
use is a straight mp3 brochure cooler
amitai thinking record in my former and
with the software
your pain able to embed those
voice files into a cooler docked KMZ
file which include the pictures
the police files and the track I'm not a
chance to do that yet
up just been using it as a as a photo
tagger I
but let's have a quick look
%uh the device
I do K
side this is the unit cell as you can
see
to incredibly small I'm really nicely
well-made we've got like a aluminium
back with her
with the plastic from really really
liked and what's really cool about the
just tiger as well the fact that he uses
micro SD cards
to record your tractor pull disperse it
here
every day see data is recorded arm
micro St become supplied 11 games
probably the one gigabyte
St cud I'm and the unit can operate on
one charge for about 24 hours but with
a key to my sd card you could probably
hold
r6 months worth debater if you're
recording
eight hours a day am so you know there's
more than enough room for
for any data what if you could not have
boys files and not be reduced but
cuz we won't be but is more than enough
it also comes with
okay micro St SD adapter so when you
want to
transfer the files we've got a big pop
into their and put money into your card
reader and then you can remember
can cook at the Carl's on your PC scope
parking
so to turn you on all you do is press
and hold the power button at the top
Mike site and then what the unit then
does
is its waiting for GPS signal
and then trying to get a lock police
also waiting for blue two singles signal
as well
para you can use the heated really in
a three main mode you can use it purely
as a GPS
Tiger I'm or you could use it with the
Bluetooth for another device
we can use it as I said before in a
stealth turkey mac on the top
we got a little USB port that we use for
charging and then
on the side we've got the bottom 10 Bush
recorder and
that some might there and there's a
little soft micro SD card
I'm it also comes
for the nice little pouch keep in our
society am
I'm stop the scripture
we get the USB lead to put into computer
and then we also got in car charger
adapter as well
so if you use it as a GPS receiver I'm
with the laptop or smartphone on your
Pocket PC
you greedy want to have a charging all
the times you usually in the vehicle I'm
circumscribed reba and then we get
supply chopper and
use mana now the Columbus
is mapped and PC compatible
for taking photographs however with the
supplied software
you can only tag capex it won't
tight rules am I don't have a camera
that will take rules but
on demand gen with other third-party
software
be downloaded from internet you can
probably use the data
on the track fathers created in this to
Kentucky raw files but in the box
just for J Paige really when you think
about it when you upload pictures to
Flickr
orkut Picasa or cooler I'm be
they RJ Peck so they're the ones that
your gonna be kinda
I didn't seek really nice small I'm
device what particular like about
software although it's not the easiest
to use
the way it works you can have an option
I'm when you import the files
to embed the data into a fresh set of
articles
so you don't have to worry about a
corrupt in your day trip computer files
halfway through
so you end up with two lot to for assets
approach gas one
your regionals and then a second set in
a different folder with all the data
embedded into and thats that's really
cool
argue to several times to take photos
and it's pretty much work flawlessly
I'm every time many people listening to
the podcast over the last few weeks
you know recorded a couple cash on
location
am mcdermott for use in a the built-in
wish we coulda
much problem I can vent
somewhat would do just finish off
with a few support for specs
it on the back about site that uses
a 51 channel MTK super single chipset
GPS receiver
and with the to keep my sd card you can
record up to $25 million waypoint
which is about two years with the data
recording stand information
for eight hours a day boys tag function
and oh yeah I didn't mention appear why
i cant don't think you can do is as you
wander around
if you pursue looks like that remark
decision as a waypoint or you're a
special point of interest
using the software you can also
customize them but things
that the record a record so how often
because for the record I'll shoot
supply not or overall I can really
impressed with the Columbus
seem to it really really well it's
really cool nifty
little piece a kit I'm i'm looking for
to
music over the next few weeks and it
remains well
Metro from for her to come thanks for
