Travel enthusiasts like to know where they shoot pictures.  Heck, if you travel with any frequency, keeping up with what picture was taken where can be frustrating.  Gisteq has come up with a pretty cool Photo geo positioning device that will help, called PhotoTrackr Lite.

People love to geo position photos.  With the recent explosion of GPS, people will try to geoposition about anything.  There are some really creative ways to use geolocation.  But a lot of people simply want to tag their photos.  This helps them associate memories with pictures or to recall those memories based on a location.  The PhotoTrackr Lite helps you achieve that by synchronizing your camera time with the geopositioning device.  Later, when you download your pics to your computer, the software simply tags them based on time.  Boom, now you have geopositioned photos!
