Post Processing Solutions for GPS-enabled Cameras

While more and more solutions appear that link or partner digital cameras with GPS to offer tagged images, NXP does it a different way. The GPS hardware/software bundle takes a "snapshot" of the signals it sees and the time when the photo is snapped. Then, back on the Internet, it relates those to a comparny Web service to determine the coordinates.

The benefit? It's a smaller footprint on the camera and uses very little power. Plus, it's fairly inexpensive:

The first product available using NXP's SnapSpot swGPS technology--Jobo AG's PhotoGPS, a US$149 add-on that fits into a camera's hotshoe--will ship this summer in the US.
