New Professional-Grade GPS Module Brings Advanced Geotagging Capabilities to Any Digital Camera
Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) August 06, 2013 -- Geo Tactical Solutions (GTS) has just released its new professional-grade GPS module, FotoMapr. In addition to its high positional accuracy, FotoMapr delivers powerful capabilities designed to greatly enhance georeferenced photographic data collection in the field. The module works seamlessly with any digital camera and enables the photographer to accurately geotag photos, record descriptive memos about each photo, create GPS track-logs, and integrate with laser range finders to acquire distance and object location measurements.
FotoMapr is sold with supporting software called QuickMap which allows users to quickly and easily map photos in Google Earth by generating a KML file. Data collected using FotoMapr can also be converted into a number of file formats suitable for use in popular GIS applications such as ArcGIS, FalconView, GeoSuite, and Palantir.
“We designed FotoMapr to be affordable and work with any digital camera,” said Jim Kidd, Vice President at Geo Tactical Solutions. “FotoMapr is a great accomplishment for GTS and Eka Technologies, and a noteworthy innovation in GPS technology.”
FotoMapr Features:

Multiple GPS Formats
GPS coordinates recorded with FotoMapr can be stored in a variety of formats including LAT/LONG, MGRS, UTM and State Plane depending on user requirements.
