alta4 offers a new software product for all documentation purposes using digital photos and GIS.

The solution contains a high quality digital camera capable of GPS, an internal (GPS module SE-1) or external Bluetooth® GPS receiver and the ArcGIS software extension GPS PhotoMapper.

Workflow:

• Turn on the GPS receiver, turn on the camera, take photos.
• Back in the office download the photos from the camera, integrate them into ArcGIS with full automatical geo-indexing using GPS PhotoMapper. View and organize your photos in ArcGIS ArcView. Done.

The simplicity of the solution is possible due to the interaction of several technical components:

Notes can be added to the photo as well using the camera's memo function. Find out more about the workflow here.
