Amazing...I bought a Eye-Fi card and I just have to take some pictures and they are allready uploading to my PC before I get to the PC ! And the GPS coordinates are on it also.

So I don't have to buy the X1-G (the one with the GPS-unit in it ) :)) :)

Hi Prager,

 

Sounds good - I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with, as I have been trying to make up my mind whether to buy one of these cards:

 

1) Which version of the Eye-fi card did you get?

2) How precise do you find the geotagging to be?

3) Have you experienced any interference problems? I seem to remember that at one point Eye-fi warned against some interference problems precisely with the X1. Can't find any trace of it on their web-site.

 

Best,

 

Claus

It was just a warning that wifi signal distance may be reduced due to the metal plate on the bottom of the X1, but as the battery door is plastic, I don't think it was actually a problem. However, the Eye-Fi card will damage the M8 and M9 if you attempt to use it in them, so definitely only try it on the X1.

Hi, I have the most "expensive" Eye-Fi card, the 8GB Pro-X2.

It works perfect and the GPS readings are verry accurate. Use it also in my Pana Gf1 and see no differents in GPS Readings..!

Hi

Not that it's a bad thing but I've read it's not GPS. It's wifi based triangulation. The database knows where wifi hotspots are based on ip address info and other data and by reading the networks around you it sets a location. The only significant difference is for hikers- If you go way out in the middle of nowhere where there is no wifi signals it will be unable to locate itself.
