Incorporating images from supported Nikon and RICOH digital cameras wirelessly with your GIS workflow application has become a lot simpler. With the FotoMapr-B, you can now capture geo-coded images and integrate them easily with your mapping application. The FotoMapr-B instantly transmits the exact location and direction over a bluetooth connection and embeds them with the image each time you take a picture, unlike any other geo-tagging attachments. Additionally,with the new “Memo Tag” feature, you can tag memos to your images off-line along with the standard GPS information

FotoMapr-B is easy to use and recharges through a standard USB port. FotoMapr supports external antennas and has enough memory to store “Track Logs” along with the geo-coded images. FotoMapr works with leading software such as GPSPhotoLink, WindImage, FoxView, Geo Fotos Mapper and MySnapMap software to organize and process your geo-coded images.
