I'm going on Safari to Kenya soon and wanted to bring a GPS logger with me so I can see where I've been and also Geotagging the pictures I took. Requirements were that I must be able to log for two weeks without transferring data to the laptop and the battery must last for at least a day. So we ended up with the iGotU. Bought at GPS-shop: the logger only worked normally half the time. I completely frustrated. Went back and got a new one right away. Great service! Then tried: The thing works perfectly: turns itself off if there is no movement after 1.5 minutes. Can set it via USB: e.g. log interval and log interval above certain speed. Then I also wanted to know if the battery lasts as long as the software predicts. I have used the logger for 2 weeks, but sometimes I turned it off. For the rest it turns itself off. Ultimately, after 2 weeks, he had actually logged 29.3 hours of the predicted 30 hours at a 5-second interval. In other words: fulfills the promise (after all, it has also been on standby for 2 weeks and still needs power to detect movement). Really perfect device for when I'm on safari for 2 weeks. Software (@trip) is also very friendly and you can save the data in all kinds of formats (csv, gpx, kml, kmz). For linking photos, however, Geosetter seems more convenient because you can compensate for any time difference between GPS and camera there, but I have not yet tried it with the supplied software, I must say. My point was that the thing delivers what it promises: only logging with movement, sufficient storage capacity and the battery should last long enough so that you can go on for at least a day. All requirements are amply met. Tip: Logger creates 1 file at a time when you turn it on yourself. If it turns itself off and on when stationary, it continues with the same file when moving. So if you want eg a file per day then you have to turn it off and on every day.

Got the i-gotU GT-600 today and have been able to use it for a while (unfortunately I haven't had a chance to do this extensively yet). The operation takes some getting used to, but in the end certainly not illogical or unclear.
As said I haven't been able to test extensively yet, but the first thing I noticed when GeoTagging the photos is that GeoTagging from RAW (in my case *.CR2) is not possible. In my view a very big miss since this is increasingly becoming a standard and in my case even the only one I still shoot in. In my case this means that I can only GeoTag the photos exported as JPEG and if I make a change and export it again I have to add a GeoTag to the photo again. Furthermore, the LEDs outside are very hard to see and it is therefore difficult to check whether it is on. The logo on the logger (at least on mine) is placed crookedly, which in my opinion gives it an unkempt appearance (You get the idea that you have a cheap Chinese counterfeit thing in your hands). Of course this is not detrimental to the operation, but it is sloppy.
The supplied cable could have been a bit thicker in my opinion. The plug itself seems very fragile to me. It comes across so fragile that I've been looking for a spare but I can't find it (perhaps an idea for Coolblue to also deliver it separately? The first customer already signs up with this one! Even if it's just to 2 locations to have 1!) The choice of your own type of connection cord is something to say... On the one hand it is very difficult that it is not just a Mini-USB connection, but on the other hand it is now ( splash-proof, something that is not possible with Mini-USB (according to the standard).
What I also think is a mistake is that the logger cannot be accessed as an external disk to be able to copy the log files as *.GPX (or similar) if you are not near a PC with the supplied software. This would definitely come in handy for people who don't run Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7. The latter is not a problem for me, but MAC or Linux users have no use for this logger.
Of course there is also a positive side to the i-gotU GT-600. It does exactly what is expected of it, is nice and small and easy to use. Haven't been able to try out the motion sensor extensively yet, but the idea that it is present is very nice. From experience with other GPS products I know that the battery can go fast.
The i-gotU GT-600 is in my eyes a very successful product and certainly an addition for every photographer, but it has (thanks to the supplied software!) its limitations, the biggest problem for me being the lack of RAW (*.CR2 ) support.
