My girlfriend went hiking today to test our new GPS tracker (iblue 747)

This is the result of our trip + the pictures to test the flickr / google maps combo

I'm building my own flickr set to kml file generator because the one i used now (link) has a few flaws in it. The option to replace the small pictures by a camera icon isn't working and if you make multiple pictures on the same spot only 1 will be shown on the map. In my own kml generator i'll try to fix this.

I ordered a GPS datalogger last sunday and today the mailman came by my house with the package :)

The datalogger i bought is the Iblue 747 to track my movements during my vacation so when I come back I'm able to add gps metadata to my pictures.

GPS metadata + pictures can give you really nice results in combination with google earth or Microsoft Live maps. I'll try to a testrun this weekend and will post the results afterwards on this blog.

ow btw the device isnt that big, the cd with the drivers is a 8 cm cd instead of the normal 15 cm one ;)

I'll take the datalogger with me to work tomorrow to see how accurate the device is when used inside a car.

The reason i chose for the IBlue 747 was because this device has the biggest buffer available (32MB), has a 21 hour operational time and can also be used as a gps mouse together with your pda/phone and navigation software.
