GPS For Cameras

[x635 4,066]

There's some awesome new devices coming on the market that will really impact some of our fire scene and apparatus photography.

Some cameras are coming equipped with them, and other devices you can buy to add on to your camera.

These are GPS devices that lets you "geo-tag" your photos. It records EXACTLY where, when, and what time you took the photo. There's a wide range of creative things you can do with this. For instance, you can make a map on Google, and when you upload your photos, you can have a map of fire scene's you've shot. Or, if you travel like myself to photograph apparatus, you can make an "online trail" for people to follow.

Here's one of the devices and the description:

The GPS is for Geo-Tagging your photos, not for navigational purposes.

I think it will be around $199 when it is released later this month.

Where did you see that the photoGPS will be released later this month? The article you had posted said summer of 07. Definately would like to jump on this when it is released.
