  • In Part 1 of this How-to I went over the equipment that I used and how to synchronize clocks between the Garmin Nuvi 765t and the Canon Powershot S90. The rest of this how-to assumes that you've taken your camera and GPS out into the world, snapped some photos, and have now returned to your computer ready to add your location data to your pictures.

  • I decided to take some of my gear with me to do a geotagging dry run on a recent business trip to Victoria BC. This is the first of a two-part series documenting how to geotag using EasyGPS, a free GPS software package.

  • On our first day in Hawaii we brought the camera down the pool at the Sheraton Waikiki. We had lots of fun taking shots from the edge of the pool, down the water slides, and in the waterfalls. It was there that we learned a waterproof camera lesson, though. The camera that we had was waterproof to 10 feet, and despite the fact that we were never in more than 5 feet of water the seals failed and water got in. When talking to a camera store guy, it seems that the 10 foot depth rating is based on a camera just sitting in still water. If you're down waterslides or doing cannon-balls with the camera in your pocket the water pressure far exceeds the specified max. It survived for about one more day before it fried. I only got a handful more pics in the water at Waikiki and never got to take great underwater fish shots. Live and learn.
