What is GPS?
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a global navigation satellite system that calculates position from a network orbiting satellites and essentially allows you to track down your exact location on Earth. This network of GPS satellites consists of 24 total satellites in six orbits, with four satellites in each orbit. These 24 satellites are about 20 kilometers (about 12.4 miles) above us and using at least three of them a GPS receiver can receive radio signals and triangulate your exact position via a series of calculations. This is called “tracking” and a GPS receiver logs your location by latitude and longitude numbers. The ATP Photo Finder utilizes an internal GPS receiver and stores your location data for use in photos taken with your digital camera.

Precautions
The positioning of GPS satellites varies depending on the location and time you are using a GPS
receiver and there may be a delay in tracking or no tracking available at all.
Due to the fact that a GPS receiver needs to communicate to orbiting satellites with a direct line of
sight, avoid using the device in areas where radio signals would be obscured. If possible, use the device in open sky environments. A few examples of areas where a GPS receiver might be obscured:
- In tunnels, indoor or under shades of buildings.
- Between tall buildings or narrow streets surrounded by buildings.
- At underground locations, surrounded by dense trees, under an elevated bridge or at the
locations where magnetic fields are generated such as near high voltage cables.
- Near the devices that generate the radio signals of the same frequency band as the Photo
Finder, GPS Picture Tracker: near the 1.5GHz band mobile telephones, etc.
- The Photo Finder may also not be able to track when you are moving at the speed of
500km/hr (300 miles/hr) or faster.
Margin of Error caused by the positioning of GPS satellites
The ATP Photo Finder automatically tracks your present location when radio signals from three or more GPS satellites are received. The margin of error for the location calculated by the Photo Finder is about 10m and does vary on the environment.
Tracking Interpolation
The ATP Photo Finder, when activated, records your position information every 5 seconds. When a picture is taken while the Photo Finder is switched off, your position can still be interpolated using software such as Google Earth or Picasa2. A rough position can be calculated by measuring the distances between the location before and after the picture is taken. In this case, the actual position may not match completely with the location on the map based on GPS information.
On error due to incorrect clock setting on a camera
When the clock setting on your digital camera is set incorrectly, the correct position information from the Photo Finder cannot be applied towards your pictures. Adjust the clock setting of your camera as accurately as possible in order to ensure the accuracy of the position information. In order to for this setting to be synchronized with your Photo Finger, refer to the GPS screen “UTC current time”*(1) and adjust your camera to the same time.
Remark
(1) UTC: Coordinated Universal Time, from Universal Time/Temps Cordonn. (2) Adjust your camera clock setting same as the UTC time. You won’t have to re-adjust time clock of your camera when you go beyond a time zone. (3) If you did not refer to the GPS UTC time, you will not get the correct GPS information and cannot map the correct data to pictures.

Product Features
The ATP Photo Finder calculates and records GPS position data and allows you to precisely track the exact location and time of where your pictures were taken. Make sure that the Photo Finder is activated while you’re taking pictures with your digital camera. After you finish taking pictures, simply insert your SD card or Memory Stick Pro Duo card into the Photo Finder card slot and the GPS data will be synchronized and added to all pictures on the card. Even more convenient is the fact that this is all performed “on the go” without a PC. All you need to carry with you is your digital camera to take the pictures and the ATP Photo Finder to log your location. Photos GPS tagged by the ATP Photo Finger can be used with any GPS compatible photo software. For example, when used with the Google supplied software “Picasa2”, “Google Earth”, or “Google Map”, your photos will be shown on an online map, giving you a whole new way to organize, enjoy and share your pictures. Share your pictures and trip route with your friends and family. More importantly, never forget where you took a picture again. You can also use your GPS tagged photos in a compatible GPS navigation system, allowing for features such as choosing your destination and landmarks visually.

Using GPS Photo Compatible Software
1. Picasa2 and Google Earth software can be downloaded from www.google.com for use on your PC.
2. Picasa2 is personal picture management software used for many functions such as editing, viewing and
organizing your pictures.
3. Upon importing pictures with GPS tagging information into Picasa2, you will find a “crossmark” symbol in
the lower right corner. This signifies that the picture has GPS position information included. Using your mouse, ‘Right click’ on the screen and the GPS longitude and latitude information can be viewed.
4. Using Picasa2, pictures can also be viewed and organized using Google Earth. Google Earth can visually organize your pictures geographically and can be shared with friends and family.

3. Backing up the GPS data from the Photo Finder
By connecting the ATP Photo Finder directly to your PC via USB connection, you can back up all the
logged GPS position information. The Photo Finder will show up as a USB removable drive and you can directly view the internal log information. You can copy this data anywhere on your PC’s harddrive.
4. Trouble shooting
If you run into any problems using the Photo Finder, please see the troubleshooting information table below. If the problem persists, please contact your local dealer or retailer.
The GPS data is not being synced to my pictures
Ensure that the clock/time setting of your camera is set the same as the Photo Finder GPS time. Ensure that your camera time clock setting is turned ON.
The Photo Finder is unable to acquire a GPS signal
You may have used the Photo Finder in areas where the GPS device cannot receive a signal, for
instance in obscured areas such as in tunnels, underground or under tall buildings.
