Works Well but Needs Better User Control FeaturesAug 21, 2010
I have used this tracker for about two years now, in the continental US and Hawaii, and it works well. I did not have the problems with the software that others have reported, but I rate it "3" because of its lack of certain convenience features. I prefer being able to turn off the audio completely so it stays off. I can reduce the audio level by repeatedly pressing the right button, but the audio increases again when I set a waypoint with the left button. Also, I have not found a way to reset the time hack without a PC...a minus in my view, as I set the time on my digital cameras whenever I travel, and the time difference between my cameras any tracker means I have to manually insert photos on the map.

 Worst Software in America, Bad HardwareMay 24, 2010
This is the worst solution. The hardware is unreliable, satellite acquisition required a battery pull at times. The button functionality is very unclear; and the device just feels cheap. This is the epitome of "Made In Taiwan."
The software is buggy, clunky and unintuitive- I have a batch of pictures it thinks were taken in China (somehow the system had the reciprocal of my true longitude, placing me, and my pics somewhere in far western Tibet.) The drivers for Windows 7 are buggy. The software is clunky and unintuitive, the drivers for Windows 7 are not stable; I had to reinstall them several times, after each reboot of my computer. Despite claiming a Mac version, the supplied software requires a $20 purchase to enable the actual geotagging of the photos.
I spent hours and hours tinkering with it, and a full Saturday afternoon carrying it around taking pictures. Check out the support forums, the latest real activity is over 2 years old.
Don't waste your time. Hard to believe Amazon even has it available for purchase.

 GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr on a cruiseMar 30, 2010
I bought this just before we were to leave on a cruise because I wanted to see the "trail" across the Gulf of Mexico. I did a couple of local test trips with photos and the linkage software worked just fine. I tried to put a wrist strap/lanyard onto it and since the lanyard holes have the battery door on one side, I had a problem. The string kept slipping out in the tiny space where the battery door closes. So, I have given up on that idea and bought a very small cell phone carrier and have hooked it onto my camera bag straps. I like the size of the PhotoTrackr but do wish that I could attach a tether and have it not come loose. I may yet try using a wire in the tether holes and see if I could connect a wrist strap to that.
On the cruise, I periodically charged it and placed it into the window of our balcony cabin. The "trail" it recorded was somewhat intermittent, so I need to do some studying. I also have a PhotoTrackr Lite but the battery door is held in place by duct tape. I think that this model is better constructed. It is very user friendly. I have mixed feelings about having a rechargable battery instead of replacable batteries. It announces when the battery charge is low and that is nice. On a 7 day cruise, I charged it 3 times. It is likely that I could space out charging more often but it will take more experience.

Item returnedNov 12, 2009
This item would not work for me. I received several support e-mail messages from the manufacturer but they did not achieve the desired result; a working product. I returned the product.

Garbage!!!!!Oct 20, 2009
I really wanted this to work but it is just an expensive paperweight as far as I'm concerned. I used it on a short trip so I could figure it out. It acquired satellite info OK on that trip in July but now when I turn it on it never can acquire a signal. I was able to pull in the information from that first trip but now the device is no longer recognized by either my mac or my pc. I never did figure out how to get the pictures with the location information to import to iphoto even after spending $29 on the "Pro" version of the software. I tried to upgrade the firmware on my pc but since the device is not recognized it can't happen. I tried going to their "support" site and it's a joke. Its almost like they don't want it to work. I work in tech support and I certainly know this is not the way to provide customer service. This device is definitely not ready for prime time. I'm going to throw this piece of junk away and try to find a better one before I go to Ireland next month. Wish me luck!
