No, if you check out the full line of Eye-Fi cards you’ll see they max out at 4GB. Essentially you can buy a 4GB version of the above card for $100 and that includes the ability to upload pictures anywhere on the web. Seems like a better deal to me.

Henk, you do not need access to those networks – it can tell your location simply from noticing their presence. I’ve done a fair amount of research on this and that seems to be how it works from reading hands-on reviews.

(Why can’t I reply directly to replies? Comments systems like this are dumb.)

Do you need access to those wifi networks as well? Or can they be locked but still give you info on your geo location?

Seems cool but I currently have a 8GB SDHC card in my camera, is there a Eye-Fi equivalent?

If you care about the geotagging fad in the first place.

This doesn’t just wirelessly upload “to a nearby Mac or PC on the same network” – it wirelessly uploads over the internet to your computer or other designated site, meaning you send your pictures home when you’re at a cafe with Wi-Fi just as easily.

Don’t forget this is not a real geotagging device. It use only the surrounding wireless networks. When you are out in the nature where is no Wi-fi, geotagging doesn’t works. But the wireless picture upload is a good feature.
