Kodak to add GPS to camera range

Comments

• I cannot wait. "by 2009" well I guess that'll be mid~late 2009, anyway its 2008 already - but I have to say that if they want that to work their on the right track with it being a background job, I just hope at the other end (on a users computer) that it will not be let down: whats needed are complementary reverse-geotagging tools to turn the GPS co-ordinates into human understandable data such a "Chelsea" but also to get it down to street level - for that the system may need to work with the EU Galileo rival US GPS project (for the accuracy)
  
  Also I hope Kodak understand that Flickr is in the lead with this and that Google have an excellent Mapping service, so restricting any on-board camera uploading to anything other than their own Kodak service is ridiculous.
  
  Once Kodak has this, everybody will.. which means the iPhone!! and of course Fuji cameras and SONY etc... I hope they get the battery drain problem solved - in fact that and the location locking speed are the only two problems, Nokia's N95 camera proves it works for day to day image taking Posted by Samuel Lago, United Kingdom
