Geotags your image files as you shoot!

The Precision Design GP-1 GPS Geotag Unit is designed for select models of Nikon and Fujifilm FinePix DSLR cameras. It acquires longitude, latitude, elevation (altitude), and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) information, and via the camera connecting cable, embeds it into to the metadata header (EXIF data) of an image file at the time of exposure.

This information can be immediately viewed on the "GPS Data" page (automatically created for all images that have been taken with the GP-1 enabled) when reviewing your images on your camera's LCD. In addition, when these images are subsequently uploaded to various photo sharing sites (e.g. Nikon's my Picturetown) or opened in various imaging programs (e.g. Nikon View NX), the location can be displayed by online map services (e.g. Google Earth).

The Precision Design GP-1 includes two connector cables (N1 & N3) that allow the GPS unit to be used with a variety of Nikon SLR cameras. It also comes with a bonus remote release cord that allows the user to fire the camera's shutter up to 3 feet (approx. 1m) away from the camera. It can significantly reduce camera shake to provide sharper images, especially when using telephoto lenses, shooting close-ups and when long exposures are required.

Key Features:
• Perfect for Nature Scientists; Photojournalists; Private Investigators; Real Estate Agents; Surveillance and Security Personnel; Travel Agents, Journalists, and Photographers; as well as all Photo Enthusiasts who want a record embedded in the image data of where and when a photo was taken
• Geotags your image files as you shoot
• Draws power from camera body battery – no separate batteries or charging needed

Delivering true GPS capabilities with automatic course and hole recognition, each unit features the dynamic green view, which changes the shape of the green depending on your angle of approach. Target information is already preloaded, but customizable target technology allows you to add up to 11 targets per hole--in addition to what the GolfBuddy already provides. With no annual membership or membership fees to keep up with, an easy-to-read high-resolution LCD screen, straightforward usability, and powerful game-improving technologies, the GolfBuddy Tour GPS Rangefinder is sure to become your best friend on the course.

Accuracy: The GolfBuddy will help you gain confidence by knowing exactly how far and where to go. The GolfBuddy's large, easy-to-read full-color screen gives you the exact distance to greens, bunkers, lakes, lay-up points, and hazards.

Technology: Each unit features the dynamic green view, which changes the shape of the green, depending on your angle of approach. Target information is already preloaded, and the GolfBuddy features custom plotting technology which lets you add up to 11 of your own chosen targets to each course in addition to what the GolfBuddy already provides.

Simplicity: With its unique automatic course and hole recognition feature, the GolfBuddy will automatically know which course you are playing and which hole you are on. There is no need for aiming or manual operation to obtain distance information to the green when using the GolfBuddy. The GolfBuddy is a true GPS unit... Just turn it on and play.

Power: The GolfBuddy features 20,000 course storage capability, dynamic green technology, target customization technology, and a digital scorecard. The GolfBuddy is a full feature rangefinder, making it the most powerful GPS device on the market today.

Benefits:

  • True GPS tracking with automatic course and hole recognition
  • High resolution color LCD screen
  • Preloaded with courses across North America
  • Ability to load courses from all over the world
  • 30,000+ available courses
  • Course data storage capability up to 20,000 courses
  • No membership fees or course download fees
  • Durable and water-resistant design
  • Multi-lingual
  • Scoretracking module
  • Simple and Easy Operation

How it Works:

  • Score Tracking: GolfBuddy's score tracking feature allows you to keep a record of up to 1,000 rounds of golf stored into your unit. In addition to keeping your score, it also stores information for the course you played on and the date you played. This feature comes in handy for keeping your handicap, as well as going back to track your scores on previous rounds that you played at a certain course on a specific day.
  • Calculate Shot Distance: Knowing the actual distance that you hit with each club is critical to playing your best golf. The Mark Feature on the GolfBuddy allows you to measure your shot distance at the touch of a single button. From your current position, all you need to do is take your shot, push the Mark Button on the side of your GolfBuddy and travel towards where your ball has landed, and you will get an accurate measurement of how far you hit your shot.
  • Remaining Distance Display to Targets: (1) Hazard Avoidance--The various natural and man made hazards on the course make up the character of the course and give the golfer varying levels of difficulty. Knowing where these hazards are, and how to avoid them can eliminate strokes from your game. The GolfBuddy displays distance values for each of the "in play" hazards, as well as aspects of the terrain, which affect shot selection and course management. Golf Buddy lists all items, which can affect your play, even if you cannot see them from your present location. (2) Layups and Carries--Knowing the location of a hazard is only one part of the equation. To effectively avoid the hazard you need to know the Lay-up (approach) distance, as well as the distance to pass the item (carry distance). The GolfBuddy gives you each of these values when required. The GolfBuddy is designed to offer you a variety of information screens so that you are constantly aware of every distance.
  • Automatic Course and Hole Recognition: Without GolfBuddy's automatic course recognition feature, sorting through the list of thousands pre-loaded courses to find the course and hole that you are on would be a difficult task. The minute you power on your GolfBuddy, it automatically locates the course and hole that you are on and brings up the yardage information within moments. GolfBuddy's Auto Hole Recognition feature tracks your position on the course and automatically advances to each hole as you play. This allows you to keep your mind focused on your game without having to deal with the trouble of manually setting your unit as you advance towards the next hole.
  • Continuous Distance Updates and Your Current Position: From the moment you turn on your GolfBuddy, it begins measuring distance values to the green and to all target points. Distance measurements are automatically updated so there is no need to manually refresh the screen as you move along the course.
  • Golf Course Customization: In addition to the targets that are already programmed into your unit, GolfBuddy also allows you to add up to 11 additional targets per hole. This allows you to add specific carry distances and preferred lay-up points.
  • Remaining Distance Display to the Green: Knowing the actual distance that you hit with each club is critical to playing your best golf. The Mark Feature on the GolfBuddy allows you to measure your shot distance at the touch of a single button. From your current position, all you need to do is take your shot, push the Mark Button on the side of your GolfBuddy and travel towards where your ball has landed, and you will get an accurate measurement of how far you hit your shot.
