ATP GPS docking station

The ATP GPS tracker sits firmly inside the docking station. The station is light, just like the GPS receiver. It does tend to cause you to easily push it aside unintentionally. The docking station of the ATP Photo Finder Mini is multifunctional. Naturally, it does what is expected from a docking station, namely recharging through the computer, that's why the station owns a USB cable. Besides that, it is also possible to insert the memory card of your digital camera into the docking station, and it doesn't matter whether it's a CF, SD, MMC or MS card. This allows you to add GPS information to the pictures. The docking station however, does require electricity, which restricts you somewhat in the location from where you can transfer GPS data.
