Tracker brings GPS guided camera triggering and event recording
to your Tetracam ADC or MCA camera.

Tracker is a system made up of the Tracker application program running on your laptop, a Tetracam ADC or MCA camera and your GPS receiver configured to speak either NMEA RMC or GGA and VTG sentences.

Tracker provides methods for; building, saving and retrieving and printing waypoint tables and defining the size of the waypoint tolerance zone.
Tracker in the air monitors your position, distance and heading to each waypoint along with camera activity.
At your closest intercept to the waypoint, Tracker triggers the camera and logs the time and location on the waypoint table.
You can manually trigger the camera any time and Tracker shows you the image count in the camera.
Tracker let's you download the camera to an efficient *.DCA (Digital Compressed Archive) file, then clear the camera to continue shooting.
The result at each waypoint, the time of image capture and the exact position of capture are recorded for later review and correlation.

Tracker has three basic modes; Ground where you build waypoint tables ..................

The Tracker Ground Mode form.

......Flight where you track waypoints and trigger the camera.......................

Trackers' Flight Mode form.

and Course where you point and click to create and edit waypoint files with associated digital map images.................

The Course Form

Confirmation of heading, distance, current position, and required heading correction are provided in an easy to read form. Inside a waypoint tolerance zone the "bombsight" graphic appears until the camera is triggered. Camera triggering is optimized to trigger at the closest approach to the requested coordinate. After each waypoint is acquired, heading to the next is calculated and displayed.

Tracker is the perfect companion to the Tetracam ADC / MCA group of cameras.
