Mar 05 Digital camera with built in GPS from Ricoh
Found in:Mobile News, GPS, Devices,
Ricoh came with the idea for a digital camera which provides GPS solutions. Ricoh have contracted a cooperation with GlobalSat, a company that GPS makes products. Ricoh have devised a digital camera which can provide GPS functionality with GPS module with GlobalSat.
This module, originating from GlobalSat, can be clicked in the camera. Unfortunately is it not the intention that you with this combination will navigate. Ricoh think that consumers have need to information on a location when taking the photograph. The things they offer to attach to your photo are name of the country, place, street name, etc.
The GPS have SiRF Star III chipset. For consumers a rather useless application according to our, but possibly that businesses have still something. You can find more information at Internet site of Ricoh here

Hi, we discovered a displaced/disoriented koala 10 m up a tree trunk and took a digital picture. I later uploaded the picture with time and date information super-imposed by my little Canon, to the NSW Atlas of Endangered WIldlife database. They also wanted exact location info, so I went to the spot again with my Garmin and collected the coordinates. It would be convenient for environmental scientists (my son-in-law for instance) to have a camera which super-imposes time and date, as well as the exact GPS coordinates, on any picture. This would lend authority to any reports they make to clients, government agencies etc. Even amateurs keen on recording threatened species would probably spring for such a camera, if it were affordably priced...
