If this happens to you, you’ll have to reformat the drive before using it again (hat tip to Peter Carey for helping us figure this out). Note: If you don't fully turn off the AMOD AG元080 device completely before taking the batteries out, you run the risk of corrupting data on its built-in drive.

Our Mac OSX laptops recognize it as an external hard drive.īecause it takes AAA batteries, it’s possible to use on an extended trek, provided you have replacement batteries or you have rechargeable batteries, a charger, and access to electricity. If Mobile Action decouples the hardware from the software by allowing driverless direct access to the data on the device, this would be a welcome improvement.įor us, the AMOD AG元080 is notable for its Mac compatibility and easy access to raw data (.log format). If you have any experience with GPS data logging and geotagging, you will probably find the software unnecessarily complicated. It's good for day hikers, cyclists and weekend warriors who are PC users, new to geotagging and looking for an all-in-one geotagging hardware/software/website display solution. USB-2 cable (with proprietary output connector from device) The support staff of this company tried to fix some of these bugs, but it never was a stable process. Sometimes the software wouldn't recognize the device and we'd have to try and restart the machine several times to get it to work. All-in-one solution seems intended for users that new geotagging.

Proprietary software install required to access data on the device. We did not use the provided software, since we use other GPS geotagging and photo-linking software. Manufacturer does not highlight it, but we have not had issues when using in damp conditions (i.e., Antarctica)īright, easy to see green light when working.Ĭan be difficult to read indication lights in bright light.ĪMOD GPS Photo Tracker.

During our test, we were forced to install bloated, proprietary software to access geodata. Not driverless, so the device is not visible – either on PC or Mac – as an external hard drive. Mac OSX and PC operating systems recognize the device as an external hard drive.

Note: For a tutorial on what geotagging is and how to geotag your photos, see our 3-part geotagging tutorial series: We’ll begin with a GPS data logger hardware review in this post and follow up with the GPS geotagging software we use next. It's not just a weekend warrior activity.” To put it another way, we're hard on our gear and test it in all conditions. We recently updated some of our GPS geotagging hardware and software and keep getting asked: “What GPS device are you carrying these days? Any changes?”Īs one person remarked, “You guys are the only ones I know geotagging day in and day out. We do this for our readers we also do it for ourselves as a step-by-step diary and reminder of where we’ve been. Since our around-the-world journey began in December 2006, we have geotagged virtually all our photos so we can display a map with each one in our travel photo gallery.
