From military equipments to mobile phones, GPS has come a long way. As a natural progression, GPS chips are now finding their way into Digital camera’s too! Adding the lat and long data to the EXIF can help in preserving more memories and can also be a fun way to view all your JPEGs laid out on a map.

GE has introduced a camera with GPS chip on it, which will add the lat and long information of the place where the photo was taken. This idea is called as Geo-tagging. So far, this feature was available only to mobile phone users with Camera and GPS like the Nokia N95 or N82. Now, regular digital camera users can also start using this feature as more and more camera manufacturers are bound to add GPS chips to the devices.
