How To Upgrade Sony GPS-CS1 Image Tracker Software In Windows 7?
To geotag photos with Sony GPS-CS1 data files in Windows 7, you need to install the latest Sony GPS Image Tracker version 2.1. The older Image Tracker version 1.0 is not working well in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, although it works in Windows Vista SP1 (to what I recall).
Steps to upgrade Sony GPS Image Tracker to version 2.1
Unless you have the latest installer CD comes with the Sony GPS logger or found the direct download link of genuine Sony GPS Image Tracker (please share with me then), you have to get Sony SPU Download Manager first in order to acquire the latest genuine application from Sony website.
Then, follow the reference of official upgrade note. In my test case, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit is used to execute the following steps:
1) Double click SPUDownloadManagerInst.exe (Sony SPU Download Manager, that you suppose have saved it from the given link at above). It will automatically extract the compressed files to a folder in working directory, with name “SPUDownloadManger”.
2) Go to the SPUDownloadManger folder and double click SPUDownloadManagerStarter.exe.
3) You are prompted to connect Sony device to computer. In this case, connect the Sony GPS-CS1 to Windows 7 via USB port and then POWER ON the GPS logger.
4) Click Start to begin download the latest GPS Image Tracker installer (about 289MB for my case).
If the Authentication Error pops up complaining the support product is not connected (although the Sony device already appears in Windows Safely Remove Hardware list, as what I have encountered), then you might HAVE NOT power on the GPS unit after connecting it to USB port!
