Does anyone know if Sony's GPS accessory for cameras can be made to work for Macs.**I wanted to get it. But the book said it's only for PC's** Apparently the device includes software that takes the info collected in the GPS and merges it into meta-data for each picture. With the software the GPS unit is useless.



Do anyone if there is a hack get the met-data from the unit into the pictures?**Or is there some over software that I can purchase?



I can't believe something as useful as a GPS tag for pictures would only be made to work on PC's. At least half of the professional photographers out there that could use this, are using Macs.









On a side note Sony's website list two different versions of the unit**CS1 & CS1K.**The specs for both are exactly the same. I called Sony Tech Support. Even the Tech Support people didn't know what the difference is between the two. Only either of were able to surmise was that the CS1 was the original on that came out.
