The camera for instance, is now able to use the laser rangefinder TruPulse 360B as a remote shutter and as a input source for compass data.

For the 7th Esri-Conference in Tokio, Christop Kany(alta4) travelled to Japan. Together with Harrison Tajima, alta4 showed the latest imaging software-solution for more than 1500 GIS users. In Midtown Tokia, alta4 showed itself as a innovater in terms of GIS-imagery software-solutions. Visitors came to see the latest product “Photomapper Desktop 10″ that has been released just recently. Its Drag&Drop functionality and PDF export from GIS systems brings great workflow imporvements when working with images and GIS.

From now on, Ricoh Japan will also be able to bundle the Ricoh G700SE with alta4 software solutions for the Asian-Pacific market.

From now on PhotoMapper Desktop 10, the perfect Photo Asset Management solution is available for ArcGIS 10.
With PhotoMapper Desktop 10 you can search and import available Photo-Databases to your GIS-Layers within just a few mouse clicks. Already created Photo databases can be searched automatically and be integrated in your personal GI-System.

PhotoMapper Desktop 10 offers a broad range of additional functions to increase the efficiency of any Photo Management within ArcGIS. Therefore it does not matter if GPS information is already available in the photo’s Exif-Header or not. If not, with the simple Drag&Drop functionality, photos can dragged to their map-location of origin to add necessary GPS coordinates to the photo’s Exif information.

The user manual was even especially translated for our croatian reseller. The spread of reseller shows how popular this product has become over the last few years. And now with the new camera model, the G700SE GPS+Compass, more and more markets needs to be served every day.

Ricoh recently released the latest firmware version 1.07 for the G700SE. This update adresses several issues and equippes the camera with a few new functions at the ame time.

New Functions:

• Add Folder: the camera can create several destionation folders on the SD-card
• GP-1 refresh: Enables a manual reset of the GPS-Modul
• Images can now be sent to mobile phones via Bluetooth

Issues fixed:

• When GP1 has no GPS data, the signal sign is changed to orange
• WPA-PSK connection trouble in manual setting by camera menu
• Bluetooth divice name is changed to ‘Caplio G700SE’ to ‘G700SE’
• FTP server connection trouble
• Failure when sending files via IIS FTP server.
• Part of the file breaks when it’s sent via FTP.
• In some case, cannot be connected with Bluetooth device.
• Cannot send image files by Bluetooth to Trimble GeoXM/ProXH (Windows6.1)
• When Barcode modul (BR-1) is connected to G700SE, 1 dimension barcode from interleaved 2 to 5 cannot be read.

We highly recommend customers with a firmware version lower than 1.05 updating the G700SE to latest firmware in order to ensure GPS functionality. Proir versions caused unkown memory issues within the camera software, which caused the loss of GPS reception.
