Gps Receiver For Android Tablet

I bought this to stick on a cheap android phone I bought to serve as a GPS navigation screen on my motorcycle for a trip out west. I was seriously impressed that the adhesive stood up to some seriously high temps, a lot of bumpy roads, and around 1600 miles of riding over 9 days. I can’t speak for its longevity after that amount of abuse but it served me very well.

We travel a lot and take photos in many locations. This GPS receiver makes keeping up with where the photos were taken a snap.

After my 2'nd Samsung Tablet (in 5 years) broke, I decided to give Apple a try. This is my first apple product. I've always been a windows (pc) and Android ( tablet/phone) user, so when I needed a new tablet, I figured I'd give apple a try. $329.00 is cheap to try the apple eco system.... IOS seems a bit more restrictive than Android (maybe that's a learning curve ?)... but, so far, I am very impressed. From a user interface/usability standpoint, it is much more enjoyable to use than my Samsung (Android) tablet, albeit the Samsung was 3 years old. Very seemless integration with my Microsoft One Drive Cloud storage/MS office products. Got the apple pencil as well.... Why not ! I'll probably always stay with Windows OS for a pc, but may take a bite of the apple when I get a new pbone...

Use it with an android app to control my photos using smartphone or android tablet

Works perfectly! Setting up my Android tablet and iPhone was quick and easy!

This receiver does exactly what I was hoping it would do...automatically capture the GPS coordinates of my photos. It sure saves a lot of time vs. guessing exactly where I was at the time. I am loving it.

I purchased it to add a mouse feature to an android tablet. It connected right away and works great.

I bought an Android tablet, put a hard plastic case around it, glued a quick-release plate to the case, and I use this arm to mount the tablet to my rig for use as a field monitor. The arm is much stronger than I expected it to be. I bought it because I'm broke and I figured that for this price, it wouldn't break me if it didn't hold... But it does hold... It easily holds the weight of a Google Nexus 10, its case, and the Manfrotto RC2 quick-release. I can hot-show mount it on my 5D2 or mount it anywhere I can find a 1/4-20 hole. So, I'm psyched that I made the buy.

I added the GPS receiver to my Thinkware dash cam. Camera recognized the receiver and is consistently working within a few seconds.

So after 128 days of waiting, I finally got one and am happy that it is here. The device is roughly the length and width of the LCD screen on the back of my 5DIII, and at it's thinnest point about half and inch and at its thickest point (where it connects to the hotshoe) it is roughly an inch. It comes with a solid case made of ballistic nylon for the unit itself, and another microfiber pouch is included that can hold the receiver itself along with the cables. Unfortunately, it did not come with a battery so I had to make a run to ABC for a pack of AAs.Use is super easy. After installing the battery, I just snapped it on to the hotshoe of my 5DIII and flicked the switch to on. I was cruising through the tall buildings of Waikiki Beach and it acquired a signal in a snap. The on screen soft menu for the receiver is in the 2nd page of the setup menu. It includes an auto update to the time function, sampling rate settings, and a digital compass setting. All very straight forward. All you do from there is verify the GPS icon is on the top LCD and shoot away.After I shot about 50 test shots I headed home and uploaded to Aperture 3. With no deviation to my normal routine I transferred all the shots from the camera and viola! Each shot had a GPS location embedded as meta data.I realize there are many way to accomplish this task, however, this gizmo made it super easy. If you've got the cash, pull the trigger, it's a cool and nice convenience if you want GPS data tagged on your images.
