What exactly is this for? Only for finding? Can it be used on the go, by keeping it with you to record your travels or is it only for stationary use and you find it?

The chirp is used for finding a geocache. When left with a geocache, it is used to help the seekers find it's location. It cannot be used to record your travels.

The Chirp is incorporated into a cache as a stage of a multi or unknown cache. It can be programed to transmit coordinates to a stage of the cache and also up to 512 characters of text that can can be transmitted wirelessly up to 30 meters away. It is only for stationary use and for finding a cache. A Garmin hand held GPS with the Chirp receivable feature is required to pick up the Chirp signal.

In the time I have had the gear, it keeps my office schedule up to date on the watch usually the Google calendar.The Apps for weather and for Evernote are extremely useful. The watch costs so little without the camera that it is worthtrying it for 2 weeks and then AT&T; will refund you if you do not like it. I guarantee you will not want to give it back if you keepa lot of appointments and the watch gives you an alarm before each. Being able to answer the phone itself is a great show off item.Useful if not for the schedule, it is useful for the time--it is an accurate watch with battery life now almost 2 days.

It depends on what you want to do with it in a home studio. I'd guess that the lack of buses kinda preclude using it in a traditional recording manner - where you have multiple sources that you're feeding to some sort of recording system. What are you looking to do?

It is just a GPS device sending out the location where it is, to any device which supports through Bluetooth connectivity. Say, you can use it instead of the GPS in your cell phone for retrieving the exact location in your map installed. Or, you can use it for some cameras with Bluetooth, while any of the photos you take in outdoor will have the location info in it.

Hi Evan. It might be used in car, walking (if mounted somehow) or other mouvement ways, but not as an adress guide or direction information device.

I did use it but department no longer allows us to carry personal devices. It's a good size, possible to put in shirt pocket if you make a hole for the camera. Battery last for ever, I liked it when I used it.

The flashing planet means the GPS needs to set a location. The best way I found to do that is to put the card into your computer and view the footage, it will then set it's region from your computer. once you put it back in to the camera it will not flash anymore. The camera's battery is not meant for portable recording. It's only meant to help you save your footage properly once power is removed from the device. It will sense the camera is unplugged then save your files and shut down your camera so you don't lose any pertinent footage.

Is a good way to have information of the trip or exercise rutine. The only thing that is not ok to me, is that no have auto start, so you need to press a button every time to turn it on.

If you are outdoors, or more specifically you have gps reception, and then move indoors (and thus out of gps reception) does it still tag the photo at the last known location? This would be good for me as I am looking for a camera I can take diving and so my hope it will tag pictures at the last known location (i.e. when we start the dive)

It is possible to get GPS data for photos, which I assume has latitude/longitude data. The association is one of the settings in the menu, and as far as I can remember, must be selected to include the data before shooting - it cant be retrieved after the photo(s) are taken. The problems with the GPS feature are that it takes a while for GPS to activate when you turn the camera on, and that that selecting to use GPS drains the battery pretty fast. I would recommend selecting for only one shot in the area you are shooting, and then turning it off... unless having the data is crucial (e.g., for some kind of research project, in which case bring along extra batteries!).

We use it for a quick check not for medical records. It depends where you hold the device we have found. The instructions say to keep it at heart level

That's about all it is good for, finding your way back. I use mine while hunting new land, to get back to my truck. It great for that. I use a different GPS to mark my traps in the winter.

As James said, it only points in the direction the mount is on. And an SD card does solve recording time issues. I recorded five hours of snowboard runs. A few things I noticed: the case IS NOT waterproof, it will let water in. Camera had trouble focusing while on the move (between 10 and 25mph on snowboard). And is marginal in terms of resolution while in motion. Stationary, resolution is good for the price, as is sound quality (while out of waterproof case, it blocks all sound). Hope this helps.

Hi Christine, I don't remember trying to locate its position using my computer because I don't think it works. This unit is a GPS recorder. As such it does NOT send out any signal. So it cannot be located in real time. But since it records its locations, you can download its location file after a trip and find out where it went. Hope this reply helps. :-)

When you live in a city (or a group of cities) and you need to go from one side to the other (which could be 60 miles) it is nice to have the GPS to take you directly. Even to "regular" places far apart it is nice to get us there in the shortest way or time. We use it all the time for this purpose - more often than taking us someplace to begin with. This is just our use in our area. If you get outside your area it is even more wonderful.If you are in a small city or go to places in a small area - the GPS has no real advantage.

This camcorder is light and small enough for you to use it for that purpose.However, battery life is so short, you might need to carry extra 7-8 batteries to get that done.I would not get this camcorder for that purpose.

I suppose you could use it to find your car. It will probably not have to be attached, just leave it on the front dash.
