Eye-Fi Explore is for those who tag or organize, for those who blog or share in real-time, for those who need to upload here, there or somewhere else, and all the rest who are simply passionate about managing, sharing and saving their memories.
It uploads photos wirelessly to your computer and to the web, of course. But, Eye-Fi Explore also automatically adds geographic location labels to your photos and allows you to upload from more than 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots across the nation. Your memories will be easier to search and more fun to share with geo tags, and you'll be able to upload them on the go. How it works Geotagging  | With Geotagging, your photos will be automatically labeled, or tagged, to show where they were taken. Today, tags make searching for photos easier and make sharing them more meaningful, but it's a time-consuming and manual process. With Eye-Fi's Geotagging Service, you won't have to spend your time entering the info. It's done for you when you upload your photo. | |
Using its built-in Wi-Fi, the Eye-Fi Card locates any surrounding Wi-Fi networks as you take pictures. Then, the Eye-Fi Service translates that data into geographic location and adds the information to each picture (in the EXIF data) as it is delivered to the web or your computer. It's as easy as that. You snap the shot and the photo shows up labeled with the city and state in which it was taken.
The coverage area is expanding all the time, as new Wi-Fi access points appear and as the location of those wireless networks are mapped and added to the system. Today, in North America, about 70 percent of the populated areas have been mapped. In Europe, the top 50 metropolitan areas are covered, along with 70 percent of the populated areas in Germany, France and the UK. Coverage is expanding in Western Europe as well as several areas of Asia, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan and other countries.
Certain online photo sites already support geotagging and even have visualization tools that let you map your memories. Check out Flickr, Picasa and SmugMug to see what geotagging can do. Many desktop photo management programs also make good use of geotags as well, including Adobe's Photoshop Elements 6 (PC only), Google's Picasa (PC only), Ovolabs Geophoto (mac only) and Microsoft's Pro Photo Tools (PC only).
Eye-Fi Explore includes unlimited Geotagging.
| HotSpot Access  | With Hotspot Access, you'll be able to upload from more than 10,000 Wayport Wi-Fi hotspots across the US just as easily as at home. You don't need to have your laptop with you or even have an account with the hotspot provider. Your photos will be delivered to your photo-sharing website and to your computer, even if it's thousands of miles away. | |
To make this possible and easy, Eye-Fi has worked directly with hotspot provider Wayport. Wayport offers Wi-Fi access at thousands of locations, including most McDonald's restaurants, major hotels, airports, and other locales. To see a map of all the locations in the US, click here.
An Eye-Fi Card with Hotspot Access already includes access to Wayport hotspots. Simply walk into a Wayport location and turn on your camera. Your Eye-Fi Card will recognize the network, connect to it and start uploading your photos while you have a burger or wait for your flight.
If you want to be informed about your uploads, you can choose to receive status updates from Eye-Fi as either email or SMS messages. We'll let you know when you've connected to a supported hotspot network and are uploading and we'll let you know when your upload is finished.

 Perfect October 14, 2008
EYE-FI installed easily from the SD card, was simple to configure and has worked flawlessly. The things that I most enjoy are simplicity of wirelessly and with no activity on your part to download the photos as well as the geo tagging the location on the metadata of the photos. Only drawback is the cost, but consider that the cost of the extra features of the card. As a weekend photographer I rarely can fill a 2 GB card in a photoshoot. A side note. If your camera is stolen and the new "owner" takes a picture it is uploaded to your computer quickly and that may aid in recovery (a mention of this was on Good Morning America, which prompted me to look and purchase the product).
I have already had two updates which are supposedly to improve the card.
Eye-Fi with my little eye, something that starts with "E" September 30, 2008
I have to say, this Wi-Fi Enabled SD card is fantastic. I purchased it for a recent vacation and it worked flawlessly. Initial set-up is quick and thankfully idiot proof with all installation software on the card itself. You snap a photo and almost immediately it's uploaded to your local computer and, if you choose, up to the cloud to Picasa Web Albums or any of a number of online photo sites of your choice. Upload times vary based on your distance to your (or an open) Wi-Fi network . Geo-tagging seems to be based on Wi-Fi triangulation so you'll need to be within range of more than one Wi-Fi network to tag the photos' location. Another advantage is that you get three copies of a photo so back-up is less of an issue. One copy on the card, one on your local PC and one in the cloud. Once set up, it's automatic and I've not seen a significant battery drain with using this card.
 The Future is Here Now September 27, 2008
Overall, the Eye-Fi is a fantastic addition to my gadget arsenal making life easier and adding cool functionality.
Tiny wi-fi embedded in another device; a taste of the future. So it isn't embedded in our refrigerator quite yet and unfortunately not our thermostat without awkward expensive smart home set ups. However, this is a perfect application.
I hate plugging in cables; this laborious task is annoying and time consuming and sometimes the computer I'm at doesn't have a driver for the camera (in my opinion they should all just be read as generic storage).
The GeoTagging has worked all over Chicago, however, I had trouble in the suburbs getting a good lock even in a public square near a Starbucks and other businesses that should have a signal.
I wish you could just at the time which web service to upload to but you can select just one. It uploads to my Picasa and sends me an e-mail and text message when it starts and finishes with thumbnails. I chose private picasa albums over straight to Facebook for self censoring.
The set up is done with a card reader so you can load the wifi networks on the card. I don't like this. It should just push it from the web, but there's no receive functionality so it can't. The geotagged map in the Picasa Web albums is sweet, tracking my night from walking along the river, to dinner, to the bars and back home.
The biggest issue is that the camera has to be on and I can only set my camera to be on for 10 minutes or so of inactivity so I have to press a button a couple times to upload large 10MP files. Firmware update to increase speed comes soon.
Amazing! September 12, 2008

I love this eye-fi card. I have a baby and we take a lot of photos. I now can near-instantly have each photo transferred to my home computer as well as Picasaweb. I save hours on each photo set. The only thing that would be better is one that's in a CF card format for my 'prosumer' quality Canon Digital camera. An SD to CF adapter does not work. I highly recommend this item and expect that soon, all cameras will have built in wifi.
Works well but does not seem to transfer video recorded on camera September 6, 2008
It works amazing for photos. Uploads them speedy. However one thing I didn't realize before purchase was videos recorded on my Kodak camera don't wirelessly transfer. So I still have to connect a cable to my camera when I want to take those from the camera. Would be a 5 star review if it handled the videos.
