    WiFi-SD-Card adds location to pictures

    0

    Eye-Fi has presented new WiFi-Cards in the size of a SD-card. There are models names Eye-Fi Explore, Home and Share. The Modle Exe-Fi Explore costs about 130 US-Dollar. This card saves the approximate location of the place where the picture was taken – without GPS.

    The georeference works with the service of Skyhook and therefore worksonly near WiFi Hotspot, where the location is known. This techniques is already used from Apple (e.g. iPod touch). The problem with this technique is the coverage. It works quite well in city with a lot of georeferenced WiFi Hotspot but on the countyside there currently are some limitations. In the USA Wayprot services can be used for upload. In the price of the cards there is a an one year free usage of this service included.

    Each card has a size of 2GB. The WiFi Explore should be available at markets in June 2008 (USA).

    Street View Europe is comming soon… (Maybe 01/2009)

    4

    Following pictures appeared recently on the internet, indicated that street view cars are en-route throughout Europe. This picture was made in Milan today:

    Based on expericenes it can be calculated that they will be online in the beginning of 2009. I’m interested in seeing which city will be the first one in Europe with streetview. I think the legal issues (about garble licence plates and faces), is little bit different form country to country, and an important factor for introducing street view in Europe. Normally Zurich should be one of the first cities with Street view.
