You might notice some claims of issues for geotagging, you may want to first check if your home is within the skyhookwireless coverage area (the company that provides for the geotagging connection). Their map of coverage areas is available on the following website: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/coverage.php
Or if you're willing to plug in the common WiFi access points you use in your area if it is not covered, you can do so on the following website:
http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php
You'll need the address and be connected to the wi-fi to see their Mac-Address so that skyhookwireless can "triangulate" your location.

This is the best new product I have ever seen! This card works perfectly with many of my SD cameras completely rendering cables useless!!
First off, the registration. A quick and simple registration (which you must have an internet connection for) helps you register the Eye-Fi Card with Eye-Fi's server to prevent unauthorized users from using *your* Eye-Fi Card. During the registration process, you also set up your wireless network (with your personal wireless DHCP enabled router), which works with Open, WEP or WPA encryption. It sends a test packet to the Eye-Fi Server, and once it verifies it's arrival, BAM! Your wireless network is set up. The next two are setting up your photo sharing accounts, personally, I use Webshots, and also directing your photos where to save on your computer. After that, you slap your Eye-Fi Card in your camera, take a picture and wammo! The picture is on the hard drive and on the photo sharing web site!
With so many new features added in the past few months,

Liked it from the start. Installation was easy. It's so easy there's not even an install disc. The software is on the SD card itself. If you can insert a usb stick and click yes a few times then you can install this. The interface is clean and lightweight. The software struggled with my Vista 64bit setup but was fine with XP 64. The problem was, and still is, that I have to open the eye-fi manager software two or three times to get it working. Most times it will load the main page but a few seconds later it reloads the page and says I'm disconnected. Even with this problem I give 5 stars. It's user-friendly and nifty. The Explore works in Raw+Jpeg mode. It uploads all the Jpegs and leaves the RAW on the card.
*edit* -So far I haven't been able to geotag a thing. I've turned it on and I shoot in downtown san diego so no problem with hotspots. Everything uploads fine, but nothing is tagged with location data. What gives???

This is a fantastic product. The install was painless - it dealt with security on my home network seamlessly. You don't even need to deal with an install CD-ROM/DVD - plug the included reader in your USB port and it self-installs.
It's almost like magic - take pictures at home and they just appear on your computer and photo hosting service.
Very highly recommended.

I purchased the eye-fi explore for the ability to geotag my pictures and to make sure I never accidentally deleted a shot that I really liked. After a little troubleshooting (and a very speedy response from eye-fi customer care) we were able to get it to work with my Canon XSi.
The card works great! The little thumbnail on your desktop is helpful too, as it shows the photos transfering right onto your computer.
The only thing keeping me from giving this a 5 star review is the current lack of support for RAW photos, only JPEG. While this is a minor gripe for most, the XSi shines in RAW mode. I believe this is a feature that will be added, so I will have full functionality at that time.
Wonderful product, highly recommended and a must have for all SD card users!

So, I'm the kind of guy who takes a million pictures of the kids and then they sit in my digital camera for 6 months. This device is perfect for me. Just snap away and then turn my camera on for a few minutes at home or in a Wi-Fi enabled McDonald's - bingo!
Take it out of the box, plug it into a USB port with the handy plug, and take about 4 minutes to set it up. It just works like a breeze.
Geotagging works perfectly for me. If it doesn't work for you, you can actually go in and set up the location of your routers so that it will work. The reviewer who complained about this could have spent about 2 minutes and fixed this issue.
I have my account set up to automatically post my photos to Flickr as well as downloading them to a directory on my PC. The Eye-Fi supports probably 10-12 of the most popular photo sharing sites.
The only thing on my wish list is for the card to upload video I take with my digital camera (right now only jpg file format is supported). I contacted support and
