Overview
 Geomet'r
GPS Receiver (GNC-38) for Nikon and Fujifilm DSLRs is the first product of its kind that
brings real-time geotagging to photos taken on these cameras.
Designed for Nikon D700, 300, D300S, D3,
D3S, D3X, D200,
D2Xs, D2Hs, and Fujifilm S5 Pro DSLRs.
Now you can add an indispensable
accessory to your Nikon or Fujifilm DSLR camera and enjoy the latest GPS
mobile technology.
A separate on/off switch conserves your battery in the receiver and on
the host camera so the adapter lasts longer.
Software Included (but
not required): Application Utility for both PC and Mac for you to view and
locate your photos on the Google Map.
 Application works on Mac OS X 10.3
or higher, and Windows 2000, XP, and Vista.
New for GNC-38 is the
inclusion of an Y-cable that allows for connection of a Nikon remote
control units (e.g. MC-20, MC-30, or MC-36), thus allowing both
functions to be used simultaneously. Also new for GNC-38 is the improved
data cable that makes GNC-38 more durable.

How it works
Geomet'r is an adapter the size of a matchbox that can be anchored on
the flash shoe, and connect to the IO port of the Nikon/Fujifilm camera
body. Using the host camera to power its internal precision circuitry to
connect wirelessly to 20 satellites and obtain an accurate reading of the
geological position of the photo taken. The GPS info (longitude,
latitude, and altitude values are embedded to the meta
data of the photo taken.
Now you can log every photo taken during a road trip or field assignment
and view them on the Google map back home and plot and review your route.
No longer do you need to record the locations and circumstances of the photos
taken; Geomet'r will do that for you automatically, on every photo taken.
Photos taken are geotagged with longitude, latitude, and altitude values.
Values are written to standard EXIF meta data of each photo file. Geotagged
values can be viewed using standard photo viewing applications such as Apple
iPhoto, Yahoo! Flickr, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Google Picassa, and many
other photo viewing applications that can display EXIF header fields. Photos
uploaded to Flickr or Picassa network albums can get mapped automatically
onto the Google or Yahoo maps.
