Field of dreams
Some months ago I purchased a Geomet’r GPS for my camera. Thanks for my good buddy, Earl, who has every possible gadget that I guy could want, I decided to buy one. Actually, it didn’t take much arm bending to do it.
For the most part, it just sits in the bag and waits to be used. It’s not an every day tool. It is useful, however, for marking your location very accurately. Combine that with the ability to click, from within Lightroom, and go directly to Google maps and it’s pretty amazing. Click in the above image to see where I took this picture. It is my little field across the street that I’ve been writing about. If you zoom down to the street level view, by clicking on the little yellow guy, you’ll see it. If you drag and rotate the image, you’ll see my apartment building. It’s the first one next to the parking lot! How’s that for accuracy? The coordinates where the pin was placed is almost exactly where I was standing!
I could have really used this when I went to White Sands National Monument. Do you have an idea of how much one sand dune looks like another! 
Not a bad little gadget for $149 USD. They seem to be out of stock everywhere, though. Not much to say today. It’s April 15th and the tax man cometh and taketh away from me!
