GPS for digital camera



Blue2CAN

E-mail this product to a friend

Blue2CAN is an integrated solution for GeoTagging digital still images with GPS data. Using a BlueTooth enabled GPS unit and industry leading Nikon D200, D2X, D2Xs or D2Hs, Blue2CAN allows users to directly capture geospatially referenced images in the easiest, most reliable collection method today. Geo-spatial information (Lat, Lon, UTC etc.) collected from the GPS receiver is encapsulated in metadata tags of every image taken. For JPG files the geo-spatial data is contained in the industry standard EXIF tags, for RAW files the metadata is maintained by RAW image workflows and is put in EXIF tags when RAW files are converted to JPG.
Blue2CAN plugs directly into the 10 pin connector on the front of the camera without the use of cables. It uses a small amount of power from the camera to operate it's BlueTooth radio and connects automatically to any BlueTooth enabled GPS receiver in near proximity. There is "zero configuration" required, just plug it in, turn on your GPS receiver and start shooting, not buttons to push except the shutter!

Note: You will need to purchase a BlueTooth GPS receiver independently. The GPS receiver can be mounted on the camera, carried in your pocket or put on the dash of your car. Please click on the numbers below the image of Blue2CAN to see more views of the product and how it attaches to the camera.

As a side note: At this time the GPS supporting NIKON SLRs will not show a GPS lock with GPS receivers that use the MTK chipset. The flaw is with NIKON and a future firmware upgrade may fix the issue but until then MTK chipset based GPS receivers will not work.
