ATP photo finder day 2

By jelly | July 19, 2008

So far i have yet to get it to work.

I have read that it works beter on non-rechargable batteries so I am going to get some today and give it a try.

Their documentation is really bad. It says it will connect to the GPS and pick up the current time, it does this but it displays GMT, which is fine if the documentation tells you this, but it says the opposite. Then you take some pictures, assuming that the camera should be at the local time, for me GMT-7.

When you then take your SD card out and put in the ATP photo finder, it ask you time zone, so I select GMT-7 and the next message says no pictures tagged. I’ve tried setting my camera to GMT so the ATP and it are at exactly the same time on the display and still it will not tag any photo’s.

It also allows you to upload to the SD card KMT data for google earth and it shows a track of where you have been. I was sitting on my deck the whole time I tried this, but if you look at the data on Goole earth it has me criss crossing about 1/2 mile of my neighbourhood.

hopefully it gets fixed with new batteries but I doubt it.
