If you're not in an urban location or, I suspect not even in the USA, the GPSing will be useless.

I previously read the speal and got quite excite about this product. My job involves a lot of photography and recording GPS co-ordinates and anything that could simplfy that process would be a god-send, but this isn't it. They should be clearer in their press release headlines.]]>Jul 29th 2009 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/
I do not know if it will work with the Eye-Fi card, but I see no reason why it shouldn't. ]]>Jul 29th 2009 7:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/Jul 29th 2009 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/Jul 29th 2009 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/
Well, if I had an iPhone, and if Apple had included an SD slot, I wouldn't need WiFi, because it's built into the EyeFi.

But it's alright, go ahead and keep thinking that you have a clue.]]>Jul 29th 2009 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/

Well, really I was trying to point out the hypocrisy of Apple having an exclusive SD product when they are CLEARLY anti-removable storage.

But you got me, and you didn't resort to name calling. ]]>Jul 29th 2009 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/Jul 29th 2009 8:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/Jul 29th 2009 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/Jul 29th 2009 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/
I currently use my iPhone 3G's built-in GPS in combination with the GeoLogTag iPhone app to do all my geotagging. For me this is the perfect combination. My Places map in iPhoto is becoming crowdy ;-)

Too bad, I really hope that OS 3.0 and the possibility to develop external peripherals brings us a solution. ]]>Jul 29th 2009 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/
The new 4GB EyeFi Pro and EyeFi Vido also has this ability.

I am guessing that EyeFi has made software for the Mac and that is why this is a story?

The way these work, you need to disable auto-power off on your camera so it can continue to upload the photo after you are done taking pictures. If you take a few dozen photos 8-12MP photos, it can create a pretty big drain on the battery- and you never know when it is done unless you setup email notification (or have the EyeFi tray icon on your PC).

Does anyone else see this as a way making sure that those pesky and misinformed cops/security guards don't cause (through their own ignorance of the law) you to lose that great shot by forcing you to delete a perfectly legal photo?]]>Jul 29th 2009 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/Jul 29th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/Jul 29th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/29/2gb-eye-fi-geo-automatically-geotags-wirelessly-uploaded-photos/
When a photo is taken the Eye-Fi Card scans for the Wi-Fi networks (secure and unsecure) in the area and records the MAC addresses and signal strength of each access point detected. When the Eye-Fi Card comes into contact with a configured wireless network and the photos begin transferring, the WPS data are sent to Skyhook Wireless. At that time, Skyhook Wireless translates and triangulates the access point data collected, calculating a latitude and longitude that represents where the photo was taken. Skyhook Wireless then sends that information back to the Eye-Fi Servers which add the calculated latitude and longitude to the EXIF portion of the JPEG photo.

This system works quite well especially in denser urban areas and suburban areas. For example here is a map of photos automatically geotagged while on a walk in San Francisco. I hope this helps illustrate how one can take advantage of WPS for geotagging photos.
