The Pharos Trips and Pics is a trip recorder combined with photo journal. It allows you to track your trips along with trip photos, and share the trip experience using Google Earth or Microsoft Streets and Trips.

Make and log any journey! Pharos Trips and Pics captures your location and time automatically at any interval you set. Time your training runs. Record your child's athletic event. Show that great bicycle trip with times and photos. Save the memories from a great vacation. Send the files to friends and family so they can see your photos and where and when you took the pictures. Add text to share even more information. Display your trips with photos on Google Earth or Microsoft Streets & Trips. Pharos Trips and Pics automatically compensates for any difference between your cameras time and true GPS time, so the information is precise. Depending on the rate you set, the Pharos GPS logger can store from 1.5 to 45 days of times and locations. The rechargeable battery will run the unit for 24 hours. An AC adapter is included in the package.

No instructions on how to use it

"You can't do geo tagging by just using the included CD and there is no information anywhere that says that. You have to download an upgrade software from Pharos site to be able to use it. You first have to register the product to be able to download the upgrade. It's also very hard to register the product because it keep asking for a Registration Code# I don't have. I only have the UPC, Part# and Serial#. I didn..." Read Full Review »
