Looking for a GPS camera? With the growing popularlity of geotagging, there are many options available. A GPS camera can differ in several ways - some have built-in or built-on GPS, while others have GPS attachments that are affixed to the hotshoe of the camera. Accuracy can vary greatly between cameras. Some have built-in compasses to capture the direction the photo was taken. Others with Bluetooth and WiFi can communicate with laser rangefinder equipment to measure exact distance from the photographer to the item being photographed. A ruggedized body on a GPS camera is crucial for some field work. The ability to collect attribute information in the field allows you to turn your GPS camera into a field data collection tool. The technology is constantly changing and we test them all. Please contact us with any questions you have about GPS camera systems!
GeoSpatial Experts has created GPS camera bundles that include the hardware, accessories and software you will need for photo mapping. Use the table below to identify the systems that will meet your needs. Please note that our GeoJot+ mobile data collection app will work with Android or iOS smartphones and tablets that have GPS and a camera.
