As I liked the idea of geo tagging my pictures I decided to buy
Wintec's WBT-201 GPS logger. It's a neat little device and fits into every pocket - so no problem carrying it with you all the time. Of course it comes with some software to export the geo data and tagging your pictures with it. And of course it's Windows only (and maybe MacOS, but not sure about this). The good news is, the WBT-201 works with linux, too. By the time of writing I'm running
sidux for amd64, which is kind of
Debian Sid, and
Ubuntu Gutsy for i386 on my laptop.
We basically need three apps installed:
- gpsbabel <= 1.3.4
- gpscorrelate(-gui)
- gtk-g-rays2
Unfortunately Debian/Ubuntu only comes with a suitable version of
gpscorrelate, for
gpsbabel and
gtk-g-rays2 we need to do some manual interaction. But now for the details! (Please bare in mind I've done this with sidux and Ubuntu Gutsy, but the below may vary if you're running another Debian based distro.)
