Make and log any journey!  Pharos Trips and Pics captures your location and time automatically at any interval you set.  Time your training runs.  Record your child?s athletic event.  Show that great bicycle trip with times and photos.  Save the memories from a great vacation.  Send the files to friends and family so they can see your photos and where and when you took the pictures.  Add text to share even more information.  Display your trips with photos on Google Earth or Microsoft Streets & Trips. Pharos Trips and Pics automatically compensates for any difference between your camera's time and true GPS time, so the information is precise.   Depending on the rate you set, the Pharos GPS logger can store from 1.5 to 45 days of times and locations.  The rechargeable battery will run the unit for 24 hours.
