Altek's GPS Digital Camera

We've recently seen Digital Cameras get bonus additions like a Wi-Fi module; by which one could upload the photos on the web instantly. And now Taiwanese company by the name Altek is planning to integrate a GPS module into a digital camera.



The purpose of the GPS module would be to record the latitude and longitude of where a photo is clicked. Thus, the photos can be later 'Geotagged' using popular software like Google Earth and websites like Flickr and Google Maps; which basically places the image on a location of the map where the picture was taken. Other than that, the camera would have an 8 mega-pixel sensor and a 3 inch touch-screen.
