When taking pictures, you often do not remember exactly where the picture was taken. Should you want to revisit that location, or find it on a map, you will probably find you have no chance of knowing. The PhotoTrackr Pro is a GPS device which tracks the exact longitude and latitude where the picture was taken.
This method for noting where pictures were taken is called GeoTagging which tags your images with those exact co-ordinates. The device is pager sized which can easily be carried around. All you need to do is power it on, throw it in your bag and snap away. The way the pictures are synced with locations is by comparing time stamps on the camera and GPS device.
