How Geo-Imaging helps your business

A pictures says more than a thousand words. A map says more than a thousand pictures.
GPS PhotoMapper connects both.

The digital camera RICOH Caplio 500SE and the software GPS PhotoMapper enable the connection of photos with their location and the integration into a GIS.
The exact position is determined by a GPS receiver and saved within the header information of the photo.

The software GPS PhotoMapper allows the utilization of this information and the integration into the geographic information system ArcGIS from ESRI where the photos can easily be administered by the GIS user. The pictures can be displayed individually or as an extra thumbnail layer. Selection critera are offered during the loading process of the photos into ArcGIS, e.g. the date or time the photos were taken. Thus long and frustrating searching procedures in archives belong to the past.

There are plenty of application areas, e.g. desaster control where people are able to document the situation with exact time and position information. GPS PhotoMapper is also used in classical documentation areas such as environmental protection, real estate, tourism or traffic.

In many application areas of object documenation and administration georeferenced photos are absolutely necessary. Often this has to be done during long working hours in the office. This has become unnecessary with the RICOH Caplio 500SE and GPS PhotoMapper because most data is collected automatically.
