More on Photos with GPS Coordinates

Ricoh just a week or so ago announced a GPS-ready camera called the Ricoh Caplio Pro G3, which is also OS X ready as you can download OS X software from Ricoh's downloads page.



Engadget is claiming that this is a bunch of hype, as the Ricoh Caplio Pro G3 has been released before and this "new" camera is no different. It sounds to me as if the marketing momentum petered out and Ricoh is trying to pump things up again, which I'm all for if it means more GPS cameras on the market. You can purchase the Ricoh Caplio Pro G3 camera from GeoSpatial Experts.

For those of us still without a GPS-ready camera, MacDevcenter has a more complete tutorial about putting GPS coordinates into photos. However, their tutorial relies on Virtual PC and a PC program, which could be replaced by Mac GPS Pro.

My search for GPS cameras also dropped Route 2004 into my lap. It's a route mapping program that is GPS-compatible, so could be used to get coordinates for a pic for which you don't have any other means to get the coordinates.
