Link to the English version of tip and tricks I gotU With The GT120
Before leaving Iceland for a longer period, we got an extended weekend in London. Small scale test for our future blog about Iceland.
In fact, to minimize surprises with my new hardware, whether the laptop under vista32b the IgotU GPS, camera / mini HD video, and all that goes with it, chargers, spare batteries, cables usb plugs and sockets, memory cards and backup ... This weekend will allow me, first of all to enjoy the city and my friends, and then indulge my hobby, photography and sharing of these.
This weekend makes me situation of what I do during our trip to Iceland, that is, post a blog with our journey every 2-3 days photos included, these 4 days have actually helped raise some good points and some problems.
GPS of Mobile Action IgotU GT120 works well, even by plane near the window when I forgot to turn it off ... The internal battery is quickly limited, allegedly walking mode 10h 3s per location, it has hardly had over 7h. To counter them, it is possible to connect continuously, a power source outside. In this case, I found a " charger " featuring 2 AA batteries with a USB plug for 10 .- CHF. Lightweight, perfect for use. He has no problem taking over 15h / d for several days, these cells are found everywhere, rechargeable batteries can also be used.
The camera-video Panasonic HD TZ7 gives really nice results as a picture in mini HD video. With its 25mm wide angle 12x optical zoom to $ 300mm is perfect for this use. To submit short films on the net, must have QuickTime Pro because of it. Mov (or AVCHD lite)
The pc HP Compaq Presario CQ61 cheap almost works well, I could find an unprotected network and connect to it without problem. Very useful little gadget, usb lamp because my keyboard is not illuminated. Almost because Vista is not very efficient, external software vendors have trouble handling this OS.
between GPS and camera, it must be time synchronized for geotagging of photos is well positioned in Google maps. A priori, the time is independent of GPS, I can imagine it varies with the geographical point, the first mistake that will cost me much time to reposition the photos later. Second error, the 2 cameras were not synchronized, re-galley, my journey was never the right time and the photos must be manually placed at the fair. Here's a good reason to have all stuck with, avoid this happening again in Iceland.
Treat photos via Photoshop , it's going very well, I did a little script that allows me with the image processor placing a mask on the selected photos and reduce them to 800px Max aside automatically, excellent time-saver. This reduction step
images via photoshop saves me time to transfer the image using the software @ trip PC but it is not necessary, unless they are in raw format is not supported by formatqui @ trip PC .
@ trip PC software my gps works fine when he is asked too much. When I try to split a trip and other actions, after some manipulation, it has a nasty tendency to put themselves in error and exit. In fact this problem only happens under Vista. My problem is I can not put anything other than Vista on this laptop cheap. Since this is one where I'm going to take a vacation, I'll galleys, that celebration.
I made a detailed mail to the provider of software to be aware of these problems, I hope a quick response.
I can still work with this software, but every 5-8 minutes, it can crash, of course without being able to save the work, otherwise it would be too easy!
little detail on a trip that begins in Switzerland but is happening in England, is the picture header that will choose the a location marker on the map . So I took a picture located in England since the principal of my trip is going there.
In short, technically I saw what I can do, overall, is very positive can even do better. I hope
on my return from vacation I will not send any farting nor have to catch up due to potential problems.
Time will tell.
