USA: GeoSpatial Experts, developer of the GPS-Photo Link photo mapping software, has been selected by Nikon USA to sell the new GPS-enabled COOLPIX P6000 digital camera. GeoSpatial Experts is offering the Nikon camera bundled with its GPS-Photo Link Express software in packages starting below $750.
The Nikon COOLPIX P6000 is the end point-and-shoot camera sold by Nikon USA and is claimed to be the only digital camera with fully integrated GPS. The GPS is built into the body of the camera so that location coordinates of each photograph are automatically tagged to the photo without any input by the photographer. For GPS applications, the main appeal of this 13.5-megapixel camera is that it’s small enough to fit in a pocket.
Business people can use the Nikon COOLPIX P6000 with GPS-Photo Link mapping software to document the location of their photos. The software uses the location data acquired by the built-in GPS receiver to display photos with maps in a printed report, in Google Earth or in a GIS such as ESRI.
