 | Connect the Columbus nGPS to your Nikon DSLR and the GPS location of every shot will be automatically added to the photo.
It geotag both RAW and JPG files at the same time.
The Columbus nGPS is a compact GPS device designed to slide into the hot shoe or attach to the strap of your Nikon and Fujifilm DSLR cameras.
It’s compatible for Nikon D3, D3X, D700, D300s, D300, D90, D2XS, D2X, D2HS, D200,D5000 and Fujifilm S5 Pro Cameras.
Unlike competing GPS receiver for Nikon DSLRs, the Columbus nGPS comes with a quality remote cord included.
The benefit: You get a great combo value of 2-in-1 package (GPS and Remote Cord). In addition, you no longer need to remove the GPS plug in order to swap it with a remote cord.
So, make no mistake, this is a vastly more intelligent product than the cheap copies you may see elsewhere, which are no more than a GPS module in a box!
The included remote cord adds greater convenience and ease of use in a wide variety of shooting situations, including long exposures and close-ups.
The remote also features a lock, which keeps the camera shutter in Long Time Exposure (Bulb) mode.
By using a remote cable you can reduce camera shake, which results in sharper images.
Geotagged photos may be viewed on Flickr, Google Picassa, Apple iPhoto, Yahoo!, Photoshop Elements, and many other photo viewing apps that can display EXIF header values.
Photos uploaded to Flickr or Picassa network albums can get mapped automatically to the Google or Yahoo maps.
