This morning, Pharos unveiled Trips & Pics, a geo-logger that enables consumers to record trip and photo locations and display them on a map quickly and easily. Trips & Pics provides an entirely new way for consumers to organize and share trip routes and photographs, track and improve athletic training times or generate precise trip statistics for personal or professional use. Trips & Pics works with any digital camera and will be available at major retail outlets later this month for $89.95. Trips & Pics is the first such product to be introduced by an established GPS player and Pharos has drawn on their expertise to design and deliver a complete software and hardware solution in a portable, attractive and affordable device.
By combining Pharos’ award winning iGPS-500 receiver with a sub-pocket-sized battery unit and easy to use geo-logging software, Trips & Pics offers a complete solution for GPS-enabled photo and trip tracking. To use Trips & Pics, a user simply carries the GPS receiver and battery unit along on a trip. At the end of the journey, the user removes the iGPS-500 from its sled, connects it to the personal computer via the supplied Universal 
Serial Bus (USB) cable, and follows download instructions. Step-by-step instructions allow the user to easily export digital photo or location files and display them on the map of choice, such as Microsoft Streets & Trips, Google Earth, Google Maps or Pharos’ own maps. Trips & Pics supports Geographic encoded Really Simple Syndication (GeoRSS) to allow blog sites to push location data feeds.
Trips & Pics software allows users to track time, location, heading and speed, and pinpoints locations on the map. Users can select variable logging intervals from one second up to five minutes. Further, the GPS receiver is controlled in the field with an on-off switch, meaning it logs only while activated, saving power and extending field life to more than 45 days. Trips & Pics portability and long battery life are of particular benefit to professionals such as real estate agents, geologists and news photographers. In the near future, Pharos will provide an upgrade option for customers who already own Microsoft Streets and Trips with GPS Locator or Pharos Bluetooth GPS and wish to add Trips & Pics functionality.
