Welcome to the GPS Cameras UK website at gpscameras.co.uk. GPS cameras allow
the location of where a photo was taken to be recorded. They do this by adding
GPS co-ordinates to the EXIF metadata of the image files (usually JPEGs) that they
generate. Early movers in the GPS Cameras market include
Ricoh and Sony.
New internet services are emerging that will take advantage of the location information
provided by GPS cameras. Popular photo sharing service
Flickr now has a geotagging feature that lets users add GPS location data to their photos.
A recent beta of Picasa, Google's free photo organising software, allows users to
view their geotagged photos on Google Earth. For the US,
Photoshop Elements is introducing a Flash-powered "Map Your Memories" feature which will show your
photos on a map of the US.
GPS receivers are also being lauched as camera accessories.
Sony has launched a product that captures the photographer's position every 15 seconds, and then uses
software to match the timestamps in the images with the
log from the receiver to
add location information to the photos. Other devices use
Bluetooth to sync up with a camera and allow photos to be given GPS information.
We hope to develop this site as GPS cameras become more popular. In the the
meantime, you will find links to some of the best uk digital camera shops for you
to find your new camera.
