 Very cool product, works well August 6, 2008
I bought this to document the hiking trips I'll be taking with my Nephew. The first day we went on an 8 hour hike through the mountains in Sitka, Alaska. It worked perfectly. Due to the terrain and elevation the sat signals would be dropped but quickly relocated. Just like any normal gps unit would. Uploading and syncing the pictures with the gps log is painless and easy.
I uploaded two pictures of the software to get an idea of what its like. Reading the other reviews made it seem like it was a really horrible program. I haven't had any problems and actually like it.
 Hardware very good, software so so... July 21, 2008
I bought this to use with my MacBook Pro, running Windows XP.
The hardware is phenomenal. I bought a cell phone belt carrier to fit it. When I am in my pickup, with the device between me and the seat, it still tracks. It tracks from inside the saddle bags on my ATV. Phenomenal...
However, the Windows software is pretty... ah, basic. It records the GPS coordinates and displays them on a Google earth map. When I tried to write the GPS data to the photos, it records something, I don't know what. Unfortunately, in Adobe Bridge, when you try to actually read the GPS data in EXIF, all you get is the altitude, (in meters), and the file hangs up and will just keep trying to read the GPS data. If you export your images to Flickr, directly from the software, GPS data doesn't go with it. So, basically, what you can do with this in Windows with this phenomenal piece of hardware is look at a map with your pictures at the appropriate coordinates. That's pretty much it.
As far as the Mac software they just came out with - it looks like a really great app. Unfortunately, they are only releasing a restricted version of the app and making you pay $25 for the "pro" version. Also, unfortunately, despite multiple attempts, their software won't recognize their own GPS device, so I can't use the Mac software.
Their tech support is pretty weak. No telephone tech support. They do respond to your emails, but they just give generic advice - like "Did you try different USB ports?" The printed manual is one page. The manual on the CD is about 6 pages. There is a website manual for both Mac and Windows versions, which I found equally unhelpful.
I am waiting for the software to catch up with phenomenal hardware...
PhotoTrackR worked as advertised July 18, 2008
We used this unit on a 6 day driving/hiking trip through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona. It tracked us damned near without error the entire trip. It tagged all of the near 3,000 pictures we took. It needed to be recharged in the time frame it indicated, and we never turned it off. Once we got home, we connected it to a computer using Vista, worked without error! We connected it to a computer using XP, same again.
I strongly advocate the use of this product to anyone who wishes to track where they are taking digital pictures.
 Software and hardware flaws make this an unprofessional product June 7, 2008

The GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr lives up to its not-so-cleverly misspelled name, in that it is an incomplete product that shouldn't have made it past the testers.
The software is deeply flawed. The hardware is mediocre. The reception I can't comment on, since I was never able to download my data points.
I took this on a weekend trip and recorded two days of hard-fought miles in the terrain near Yosemite Valley. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the data, because when I tried to download it, the program (running under Windows Vista) just locked up. Then, it ate the data.
The hardware itself has a clumsy interface and offers cryptic audio and LED light feedback. This might be worth a few $10s but it's hardly worth $100.
I'm returning this and getting a BGT-31 instead (a different manufacturer, look up for details), which appears to be just what I was looking for in the first place. After this unfortunate encounter with GiSTEQ, I doubt I will consider their GPS logging products again.
nice unit May 1, 2008

I looked long and hard at the different trackers and I'm sure if I tried each and every one they would have features that I'm missing. The reason I got this one is the motion sensor. The unit is very controllable as to the time before "going to sleep" can be set in minutes, the tracking set in distance covered (in feet) or time between readings in seconds (every-X_seconds). So charge it up for 30 hours of continual use or weeks of it turning itself on when it detects motion and off after 5 minutes of no motion. The aquisition is fairly quick and once aquired locks on well. The unit can be connected with a usb cable to a laptop using Microsoft streets and trips and will show your current location constantly thus becoming an onboard map system. You can see reviews at http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/default.asp for more info.
I tried it behind the seat of my nissan P.U. and was surprised it could catch some signal (not always) even with a shirt stuffed over it.
