ATP launches two-step geotagging kit
Followup to last year's PhotoFinder, the mini creates a GPS log and then syncs with camera timestamps in its dock.

ATP has announced its GPS PhotoFinder mini, a pager-sized device that uses a GPS log to add location data to digital photos. ATP has reduced the size from its previous PhotoFinder geotagger by splitting the GPS and card reader into two units. The SiRF Star III-powered PhotoFinder mini is carried along with a camera, recording where it's been and when on a 128MB flash card. By placing it in its docking station along with the camera's memory card, it matches photo timestamps with location data from its log and saves it in the pictures' EXIF metadata. ATP claims over 16 hours of battery time, so it should cover a whole day's worth of shots, but only if they're JPEGs -- no RAW mode support. Pricing information is not yet available.
