Last year, after I started geotagging my photos, I did a few visual art projects combining photography and GPS technology. I am fascinated by maps, how we imagine the world around us, how we communicated that world to others, etc.
Recently, I’ve made an intensive study of geotagging. With a desire to share what I have learned, I spent the last week compiling all that I know about geotagging with special emphasis on working with the Canon GP-E2 GPS Receiver.

There are two methods for converting Windows Garmin-compatible maps to BaseCamp for Mac: 1) on a Windows XP or later computer, or 2) on a Mac. On a … Continue reading Convert Garmin Windows Map Files To Mac BaseCamp .gmap Format
I have never been too big on bringing electronic gadgets into the backcountry. This year however, I started using a GPS on all my canoeing and kayaking trips. On one trip, a friend brought along a Goal Zero solar charger. It seemed to work great. Reviews of Goal Zero chargers always state how bombproof these … Continue reading Goal Zero Nomad 7 and Guide 10 Adventure Solar Charger
