Personalising memories and storing them in innovative ways is big business. Think of all the photo storage sites, myspace maps and the advent of the webcam. Now Sony allows you to take photos on your (SONY) camera and a GPS tracker maps out where you are on an online map. Not a bad tool to add to your Europian Holiday slide show ay?
From Sony:
"Keep track of your photo locations and dates easily with satellite precision. The GPS-CS1 calculates and records position data. When used with the supplied GPS Image Tracker software, the GPS-CS1 allows you to match the time and location data in the device with your photos. And by using the Picture Motion Browser software, supplied with certain Sony cameras*, your photos will be shown on an online map, giving you a whole new way to organize, manage and enjoy your pictures."
Perfect for people who can't remember if the photo of them eating pizza was in Florence or Rome (no, I swear it didn't happen to me).
