Software
RoboPhoto runs on any computer using a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system including Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows ME, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.

The amount of required disk space depends on the number of local web pages that you create. Approximately 10 megabytes of disk space is required for installing the program.

16 megabytes of free RAM is required by the program. The more memory you have, the better.

For best viewing results, your video should be capable of and configured to display more than 256 colors. 24-bit color with a 800 x 600 screen size is recommended.

RoboPhoto may run on Macintosh or Unix based systems in conjunction with 3rd party cross-platform software, but this has not been tested. Try at your own risk.


Digital Camera
RoboPhoto creates web pages from JPG files. It does not matter how the JPG files are created (camera, scanner, etc). The only requirement is that they exist.

For the GPS functionality, the digital camera must meet EITHER of the following requirements:

  • Produce EXIF format JPG files. Virtually all modern cameras have this capability.

  • Produce JPG images that are dated when the image was taken. Most older, non-EXIF, cameras meet this criteria including Sony's line of floppy based products. If you're unsure if your camera does this, you can quickly test it - just take a picture and see if the resulting disk date is the same time as when you took the picture.

GPS Unit (optional)
RoboPhoto interfaces with Garmin GPS units only. Other makes (Magellan, Lowrance, etc.) are not supported at this time.

Note that a few older Garmin models don't support tracklog downloads. These include the GNC250, GNC300, GPS150, GPS155, GPS165, GPS50, and GPS55. All of the common models (Etrex, GPS12, GPSII, GPSIII, etc.) are supported.

You can test your model by clicking the 'Test' button in the main program settings.


Recommended System
You don't have to spend a lot of money on expensive hardware. The recommended system is not only low-cost, it's also the exact platform used to develop RoboPhoto:

  • Computer: IBM Thinkpad 600 Notebook ($400.00 USD on Ebay).
  • Camera: Canon Powershot A10 ($250.00 USD at Wal-Mart) or a used Sony FD-91.
  • GPS: GPS 12 with the accessory data cable ($200.00 from The GPS Store) or, for aviation use, a Garmin GPS III Pilot with a data cable. The model number of the cable for either unit is GAX10141. The Etrex Venture is also a good choice because it's low cost and already includes the data cable.
