  • AMOD 3080 GPS WNRO

    From Alan Browne@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 7 12:19:41 2019

    I bought several AMOD 3080 GPS' (Photo tracker GPS to time stamp photos
    after the fact) in 2009.

    I just took one outside. There were no batteries in it for the past 6
    or more months and it of course had not run in that time.

    It began recording data about 1.5 minutes after power on and the file
    was correctly time stamped with today's date.

    (That price is ridiculous. I paid about US$45 for them back then in
    quantities of 8 or so).

    That is indeed a stupid price!

    USD 200? I have never paid more than $60+ for data loggers, even with
    both USB & Bluetooth realtime connections, along with large logging
    buffers so that they can be downloaded after the fact.

    Now I'm looking for one with the at least GPS+Glonass+Galileo and
    preferably also the Japanese and Chinese systems, in order to provide
    much better tracking under a canopy. (For orienteering mapping).
