Remember the DG-100? It works on the Mac now
Remember the DG-100-GPS? That cheap data logger that I've been really bad at finding the time to use consistently? Jaako left a comment letting me know that he got the DG-100 working on the Mac:
Hey Boris! Wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I managed to get a pretty decent solution to the DG-100 / Mac issue. The key lies in Mirko Parthey's dg100.c script he wrote as a basis for implementation into GPSBabel. I made some tweaks to his original code and added a GPX output mode and have a pretty reliable command line interface for the DG-100. Check it out ( + the relaunch of my blog ) at Blog-Shmog.com and let me know if you have any luck!
I know that Richard already followed his instructions and got it working as well. Richard has been doing a great job of geo tagging his photos. Check out his map on Flickr. Oh, and Flickr's Places feature is AMazing. And the only way to get your pictures in Places is to either geotag them up front, or use the map feature to place them. "Manually" placing can be done in bulk and the interface is quite friendly, so even if you don't have a GPS device you can easily geotag on Flickr.
Now I have to listen to my own "call to arms" and do more geotagging myself. I should go poke the LoadMyTracks guys again...it would be great if they could adapt this DG100 script so it "just works" rather than all the compiling and C-editing...

Did you poke the Loadmytracks guys?
Thinking of playing with the device in my drawer again - did you ever get a response from the Loadmytracks guys?
DG-100
Hi! I saw you have posted quite a log about the DG-100. I am thinking of buying one for logging orienteering races (I now use a Garmin Forerunner 305, but want a second cheaper solution). My question: Do you know if you can set the DG-100 to log every second? And how many decimals does the DG-100 log the position with? I know some of the Globalsat equipment uses only 5 digits - and I'd like to have 6 for local accuracy;) Last thing is how easy/fast it is to export a GPX-file from the device. Would be nice if you have tested any of these issues!
