Nice review, but biased against Jobo.
To use DI GPS with Canon one has to spend 800/ pounds extra for WFT, just to connect GPS via USB.

Glad I read this report first, that are few low priced Jobo’s at the moment – less than £70. But it seems it is not quite up to the Job – so not worth really considering.

Scott, your review sucks. Get an iphone, you’ll be happier geotagging with it.

Hi,
I bought this Jobo Photogps (unfortunately, not having found this page). I see another issue – Picture 1: Longitude 180 Picture 2: Longitude 67 Picture 3: Longitude 48. Hmmm. This continued for the 24 pix I shot as a test run over five minutes. Each time, JOBO flashed a green LED indicating success. Anyone else seen this issue?

Tx,
Steve

Todd, sorry but this is non sense.

di-GPS USB has no limit on captures as it writes directly into the pictures (RAW/JPEG) unlike Jobo that saves raw GPS data to be postprocessed.

As it is plugged into the WFT-E (wireless adaptor) it does not have any affect on remote controls!

The problem is that some funny boy at Canon had the idea to say: “OK lets take the expensive WFT that people mostly use in Stuios without any GPS signal and sense to geotag as an interface for geotagging.”

I guess this guy ate a big and funny clown that day for breakfast. It is so nuts!

Picture here: http://gps-camera.eu/images/stories/dawntech/dawntech_usb_1ds_orig_600px.jpg

Works for thes Camera / WFT combinations:
Canon EOS 5D Mark II / WFT-E4
Canon EOS 40D / WFT-E3
Canon EOS 50D / WFT-E3
Canon EOS 1D Mark III / WFT-E2
Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III / WFT-E2

Thats it

Solmeta Geotagger N2 Kompass has auto-indoor function and a kompass saving the direction of view.
Dawntech Pro Logger has auto-indoor, additional tracklogger (260.000 points), pseudo-direct-start.
Why bother for GP-1 that has not even an on/off switch but consumes up to three hours of camera power after shutting the camera off? For the brand logo on it?

Scott,

did you ever get to play with the GP-1 from Nikon. I appreciate the thrashing of the Jobo, but now I am looking at the GP-1 and would like to know what you thought of it. Moose loves it I know, but thats just one review. What did you think?

thanks, John

The di-gps USB will kind of work with Canon’s according to there web site, but at only 1000 captures, no tracks, and apparently it makes using a remote release impossible.

Most outdoor photographers are going to be using a remote release, so that seems like a really wierd thing to do (no pass through, yeah the pro model has it but not the usb model)

At $200 this does not seem to be such a good deal, for about $100 I can get a model that tracks and matches up all photos for the canon’s on the computer

Have no Idea if the Jobo would work or not, but also seems kind of pricey for what it does.
