Data-Imaging | External GPS Devices | Barcode Scanning | RICOH Caplio 500 SE | Inventory Tool

There are quite a few GPS receiver compatible with the RICOH Caplio 500SE. These devices deliver different accuracies, belong to various price levels and are available from different distributors.

Professional, differential GPS devices come from the surveying sector and are significantly more expensive than non-differential ones. Due to additional correction signals they can reach accuracies in the range of centimeters.

Again a necessary precondition to be able to communicate with the camera is that the GPS device is able to send NMEA data via Bluetooth. The GPS device has to function as the Bluetooth slave, while the camera will take the role of the Bluetooth master.

All devices presented here lie in the scope of 2.000 €.

The mobile, Bluetooth enabled GPS device MobileMapper™ CE from Thales provides submeter GPS positions. Because of the open platform of Microsoft®Windows® CE.NET MobileMapper CE supports any standard GIS application on CE basis.

Equal sucessfully tested were the Bluetooth enabled devices from Trimble. The handheld Trimble GeoXH as well as the GPS receiver GPS Pathfinder® ProXH™ deliver GPS coordinates in submeter range.

Non differential GPS devices have a significantly lower price than differential ones and deliver an accuracy of 2 to 10 m. They are used in car navigation devices and outdoor GPS receivers like the Garmin eTrex or the Fortuna Slim GPS.

The Caplio 500SE digital camera has outstanding communication interfaces. For example it is capable of a wireless connection to a GPS device via Bluetooth. The precondition is, that the GPS device is capable of sending NMEA data via Bluetooth and takes the slave role in the communication process with the camera. The camera will always take the master role.

We did not try all the GPS devices out there. But we made the experience that most of the commercial devices communicate without any problems with the camera.

We recommend the Fortuna Slim GPS. It uses a SiRFIII chip and therefore provides a very good reception quality. It is also very small (1/3 of a cigareete box) and fits in any pocket.
