Called m.icatcher this is the point-and-shoot camera with embedded GPS from MyGuide. It targets the ever growing market of photo tagging. Each time you snap a photo this camera instantly adds the location where the picture was taken to the JPG file.
Unlike existing GPS solutions the camera does not suffer from cold starts. The GPS signal is simply captured at the instant the shutter is triggered. And when you transfer your pics to the PC the power consuming processing part is done on your PC therefore the GPS feature only has a low power demand. So you don’t have to worry about GPS chip draining your battery or having to wait minutes before you can take a picture.
All we know is that MyGuide m.iCatcher was on display at IFA 2008 last week and will be available in Europe pretty soon.
