Eye-Fi Geo: Seamless Geotagging for iPhoto Users
Posted in: Apple, digital camera, Mac, Today's Chili 
Picture this: You’ve just completed a whirlwind tour of Europe, and you’re wading through the hundreds of pics you snapped along the way, and everything starts to look alike. Is that the Charles Bridge in Prague, or the Chain Bridge in Budapest?
If you’re a Mac user, the Eye-Fi Geo can help keep your memories straight.
Next time you travel, pop the 2GB Geo into any digital camera that accepts SD cards: The card uses Wi-Fi triangulation to add location information to every photo you snap. Like other Eye-Fi memory cards, the Geo also lets you wirelessly upload your photos to your PC.
What makes the Geo different from other Eye-Fi cards, including the $99 4GB Explore Video, which also geotags your photos? It’s designed to work seamlessly with iPhoto 09’s new Places feature, which lets you organize and search your photo collection by location. With the Geo card, your photos are automatically imported directly into iPhoto with location information intact, so you don’t need to manually enter it for each image.
Users can also upgrade their Geo card to share images online at MobileMe or one of more than 20 other photo sharing and social networking sites for a $9.99 annual fee.
The $59.99 Eye-Fi Geo is available exclusively at Apple Stores and online at Apple.com. We’ll take the Geo for a spin in the coming weeks, check back at PCMag.com soon for a full review.
