No - but it was the best I could come up with.

I think you should apply for the trademark

Now I could really use one of these; I was just going through some old photos which I'd taken whilst travelling through Germany could have made good use of knowing exactly where the images were shot; same for a three-week trip I took to the US a few years back.

I'm liking the fact that it doesn't have to be connected to the hotshoe, coming bundled with an adapter to secure it to your strap. Now all we need to know is the price

I reckon these items will become more popular as GPS co-ords become as relevant as keywords / tags etc in google search terms

[Markulous]

Hmmm, had an app to do this a few years ago who's main advantage was that it was free!

Worked by taking the EXIF date/time and adding the pic to my GPSr track. Since I knew where I'd taken the shot from, this was somewhat less than useful tho' quite fun to have thumbnails along the route I'd taken

So in case anyone comes across this and is hunting for a GPS solution.

It looks like the GP-1 is $1000USD, give or take a few.

And it looked so promising...

If you're talking about the price over at onestopdigital.com (or similar) then that's just a placeholder; the actual RRP is still to be announced and I think it will come in around the £150 ($250 US) mark.

[VikingPhotography]

Well well; looks like I wasn't far off the mark... DigitalRev are listing it at £165
