More and more photographers are getting interested in being able to save GPS information with their digital photos. The geotagging enthusiasts at the German company foolography have introduced a new wireless solution for people who want to collect and save GPS data with their photos. The new Unleashed module connects wirelessly to any Bluetooth GPS device. It plugs into the 10-pin connector on select Nikon digital SLRs and allows the camera to embed the location data from your GPS in the EXIF data of your image files.

The Digital Imaging Marketing Association gave the Unleashed their DIMA 2009 Innovative Digital Product Award. A price hasn’t been determined yet, but they are shooting for about $250. The Unleashed is compatible with all Bluetooth GPS units and works with the Nikon D200, D300, D700, D2HS, D2X, D2Xs, D3 and D3X. Foolography is working on a version for the Nikon D90 as well as a “pro” version that will include a tilt-compensated electronic compass so that the direction of your lens will be stored along with the standard GPS location data. An Unleashed for Canon DSLRs is also in early development.

Well! This GPS devices are round now with more features which are great if you really want to record exact location of you picture taken. But still the price is high, maybe in general because are new and as the time pass hopefully will cut down the prices which i don’t don’t doubt.
