First, we love the shape of the device.
it's small, and we are very impressed with how well it works. We tested it outside the house, hit the button, it acquired within 30 seconds, We put it in the breast pocket of a denim jacket, got on the motorcycle and rode to work, and stopped a few times to take pictures. When we got to work, we installed the software, downloaded the pics from the camera, hooked up the GPS, which downloads the track automatically, told the software where the pictures were, and in about 30 more seconds had the Googlemap showing the pictures, and the track was never more than about 6 feet off course.
The i-gotU module is a very small White plastic rectangle, with one button.
There are two LEDs located on either side of the power button. One is Blue and one is Red. When the module is powered on, the Blue LED will blink every 15 or so seconds. If there is a GPS signal, the Red LED will also blink.One end has the proprietary USB connector and a lanyard attachment eyelet.Operating this device is about as simple as it can be
. Just hold down the only button for a couple of seconds till you see the Blue LED blink. Then go outside to allow it to get a GPS lock. You will know when you have a signal, when you see the Red LED blinking along with the Blue one. Most of the time, this only requires a minute or so. Now all you have to do is carry the i-gotU along with you, while snapping pictures with a camera that has the correct time set.When you’re finished for the day, load up the included software on a Windows PC and launch it.
The Trip software has an easy user friendly interface. Clicking the Import GPS Track button in the upper Left corner will guide you through the steps of retrieving info off the i-gotU module. Click on screenshots for full size images.
You will be prompted to connect the i-gotU to your PC with the included USB cable. Once you do, it will automatically start downloading the info.
The software will automatically select multiple trips for that day. If you want to combine them all together, click Next, otherwise, you can uncheck the trips you don’t want to include.
You then have the option of three different trip styles. More about that in a bit.
The next step is to import the images that you took while the i-gotU was powered on. The images that were taken during the same time that the module powered was on and receiving a GPS signal, will have a G next to them.
After the images are imported, your trip will be shown using Google Maps, complete with start and end points. Depending on the style that you selected, imported images will show up on the sidebar. If you combined multiple trips into one, each leg of the trip will be a different color.
