I like to tag my photos with GPS coordinates when no private information is revealed, but currently I have to do it manually via online photo sites such as Flickr and Zooomr because my photo gallery software has no such feature.

Nuvi 350 freezes
What we have here, folks, is my brand spanking new Garmin Nuvi 350 freezing on me. Oh, so cold…
There was no manual in the box, so I had to search online for instructions to reset it.

Charcoal needs the Global Pet Finder
This afternoon my wife phoned from a trail and told me that Charcoal almost went missing again. Charcoal is nice and all, but he really, really needs to learn to stick with us whenever he is off leash.
Global Pet Finder is supposedly a solution that tracks wandering dogs such as Charcoal. Too bad [...]

Garmin Nuvi 350
Signal vs. Noise’s Jason really likes Garmin’s Nuvi 350 GPS device. It looks nice – small, portable, touch-screen, street-name prompts, etc. The big downside to me is the $900 pricetag. Guess it will be a while before I can replace my Garmin StreetPilot III.

$620. Not bad for a complete and yet small GPS system. [...]

Magellan Roadmate 700 vs. Lowrance iWay 500c
Tom’s Hardware Guide has a in-depth look at two portal hard-disk-based GPS solutions. For a while last year the Magellan Roadmate 700 was my favorite, so this article was quite a good read for me – it took me two days to read it, but it was a good read nonetheless. I like [...]

TomTom Go 700
Looks like TomTom Go 700 would be my favorite GPS device from now on (or at least until something better comes along). Hope it’s available in US and won’t cost too much.
It has a remote control, a 2.5GB hard disk, and bluetooth capability that allows hands-free calls and GPRS data connection via your cellphone.
The [...]

My GPS is obsolete
Looks like my Garmin StreetPilot III will be replaced by the new Garmin Quest. So what else is new…
