Oh and a Leopard icon would be the icing on the cake =)

I have Leopard and also found this very useful. I access my PC files through a mounted shared volume however when a new file is created on the PC it often doesn't show up in the mac finder (although weirdly it shows in any docked folders). This was a great solution for me!

you can access the iphoto (08) photos easily;

in finder rightclick iphoto library and choose show contents of package - the you can drag a link to the data folder to finder index or create a new link, i suppose this could be seen with jobo

of course would be nicer if jobo simply got access to the data directly, it should be pretty straighforward when i can open the packages this way, probably only tricky thing is to avoid conflicts if iphoto is open

an iphoto plugin would be the right thing to use in this case

Is this already working properly? I'm looking into this with the EOS450D. Does it work with iLife 09?

1-Have not yet gone to 1000. did 780 tags on that trip.
If you get to 1000, it emits a green signal followed by red signal 4 times I think. showing memory is full.
I am going 2 weeks to Bhutan tomorrow, and will probably fill the memory if I cannot find internet access to download. However 1000 is quite a lot.
You can always tag the first image of a location and also shoot more images at the same location without the unit, then tag them manually.

2- The battery will last more than 1000. it was only 1/3 empty on 780 shots. It only emits for a fraction of a second each time.

3-The adapter is what came undone (see my previous blog). The top of the unit slid off the adapter shoe.

I guess there must be other adapters available, but I cannot find any?

Anyway, it is a useful piece of kit if you want to tag your images.
Good luck.
Daniel

hi, thanks for the review
A few questions:
1.What happens when you hit the end of the 1000 location max? And how does it let you know that it can't take any more locations.

2. do you think the battery will last for the 1000 locations of the unit. is there some way of knowing if the battery is charged fully.

3. on the dimensions, it mentions it "excludes adapter". what adapter? How big is this adapter? does it include the adapter?

thank you, in advance.

Thanks so much, your above instructions worked perfectly! The speed is quite impressive also - I have wireless at home and university but this is great when I’m on the road, or at a place where no net is available - Cheers!

This is still a useful app for Leopard. Often I'm copying a file via SCP from linux to OSX... When I want to see the progress on my machine, OSX does a poor job of updating the file size. This little app does the trick.

I have used this jobo gps for the first time last week on my trip to Venice carnival.
Took 780 shots of scenes with gps mixed with 1500 other shots where I did not use the gps on a number of cards .
It worked well with Canon 5 d2 and 40d. All shots recognised tagged successfully. However there is a physical problem as the unit is loose on the hotshoe.I had to fit a small stickky tape wedged partly under the hotshoe so it did not slide off. It would be good if JOBO was fitting a locking wheel on the shoe attachment, to lock the device like for a flashgun.
Then the shoe was secured but the top of the unit slid off , it can separate at the top. It fell on the pavement, and litterally exploded on impact, the casing opened, with a large circuitboard and 2 pieces of casing + a small button, all on street amongst confetti, near missing the canal edge inches away!
I am not exagerating, I thought that was the end of my jobo gps. I managed to recover all bits and put it back together, it all clipped back as nothing had happened but now I have secured it all with tape. I downloaded all info without a problem.
Conclusion, this is a great accessoiry piece of kit which works well, but the design of it is useless, one needs to be very careful not to loose it. It could be improved on two areas, 1- A locking wheel to prevent from sliding from hotshoe, and 2- a rubber flap of some kind to prevent dust entering the opened usb socket.

Any similar thought?

Thanks a lot!

Let's wait to see what will be released next week at PMA. If nothing new come out of Nikon or Canon soon, I will purchase this unit for now. Just can't justify the weigh, size and extra $1000 for Canon's wireless unit for traveling use.

Thanks for the good feedback.

Answer 1: It doesn't embed info into the RAW file - it creates an XMP sidecar file that you can import with the file into Aperture or Lightroom. I haven't played with this much I'm sorry.

Answer 2: Yes - it keeps a record of when every shot was taken & matches them together - it handles deleted files and changed memory cards without issue.

Answer 3: Charging the battery can be done with a USB power adaper - they are available as car chargers or wall chargers from most electronics stores (mini-USB charger for mobile phones work too). Battery life is pretty good - I've shot a full 8gig cards worth of photos (JPG so lots of photos) and it still had juice left at the end of the day.

Answer 4: There's a button on the side that does a quick sat check - recommended to hit that before you start shooting. As for lock on for the GS signal, it seems fast although no specific feedback available from the unit. Even on single shots it's gotten the location almost spot on for me.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Shane.

This is a smart solution. We don't have to spend over $1000 to get GPS function on Canon's EOS.

Question 1: After the "manual" process, will the Geo information embedded to each RAW file? In case we shot with RAW+JPG, will this software tag both files at the same time?

Question 2: If you delete photos after you shot and change multiple CF cards, will the software still be able tag them?

Question 3: How to charge the battery without a computer? How long does it last?

Question 4: How fast does it respond to first picture? You turn on the camera and ready to shot. How do you know the GPS unit is ready? We all know it takes a while for GPS unit to find satellites.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Xbox 360 & Media Center Power Usage

scrytch — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 09:09:28 -0000

@Spacemonkey: The way magic packets work are by triggering the MAC address of the device - this means the IP address of the media center is not the issue. Once the PC is on, Media Center Extender on the Xbox 360 will find it no matter what IP address it has (as long as it is valid).

Shane.

Re: Xbox 360 & Media Center Power Usage

Spacedmonkey — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 08:35:04 -0000

Interesting post. The only problem is that, how would the xbox know the ip of the media center. If it is turned off over right, of may get a new ip from the dhcp server.
