Taiwanese Altek combines digital camera, GPS

Altek GPS and Digital Camera

Usually, GPS units aren’t seen incorporated in many other devices, except maybe as a PMP, however, Altek, has created a digital camera that also comes with GPS. Sometimes, there are GPS units that come with a mediocre digital camera, but this one features a digital camera that is pretty nice.

The digital camera is an 8-megapixel model, and sports a 3-inch touch screen for the GPS part. Basically, using its Geotate software, you can input the exact coordinates and the time of the picture and it can spit back a GPS map. The cool thing here is that it can even provide maps to the place that you took the picture. I’m not exactly sure how this works, but it does seem like a pretty cool piece of technology. No word on exact pricing, but it should be available in the second half of this year in Beijing, probably in time for the Summer Olympics.
