Sony’s GPS-CS1K Maps Out Where You’ve Been

Here’s another interesting product from Sony Electronics: the GPS-CS1K. This GPS device will help you map out the places you’ve been – using the digital photos you yourself took.

How does it work? Using the time stamp from any of Sony’s digital cameras or camcorders and the time and location recordings from the GPS-CS1 GPS device, you can create a map to showcase your globe-trotting. You just have to transfer the photos you took to a computer and import the logged data from the GPS device before the GPS Image Tracker software synchronizes the information.

With the help of the Picture Motion Browser software included in the latest Sony digicams, your online map will have your photos as virtual markers of the places you’ve visited. Cool, huh? Just imagine pictures you’ve taken with faces of your friends or relatives popping up whenever you click locations like Barcelona or Florida on the map.

The 12-channel GPS device – which weighs two ounces, is 3 1/2-inches long and comes with a carabiner to easily attach to your bag or belt – will cost around $135 and will be available starting September.
