The Solmeta Geotagger Pro expands the existing geo-tagging to other functions. For instance, a compass on board to save the view direction to be able to. On the rear panel, the photographers are displayed not only the position but also temperature and the horizontal and vertical tilt. The Geotagger Pro is pushed into the standard hot shoe. Owner of a Nikon DSLR with a GPS connection, even to benefit the direct geo-tagging, because the GPS can communicate directly via cable to the camera.

Thus, Nikon photographers then the only ones who have the geo-information in the captured images immediately, even if these are to the RAW format (Nikon’s NEF). Except for the Nikon D200 and Fujifilm S5 Pro can all other Nikons (D5000, D90, D300, D300s, D700, D2X, D2H, D3, D3S and D3X) and save it with the compass direction of view. Information such as temperature and inclination do not end up in the EXIF, however, as no fields are provided. It is therefore more likely to provide information that is helpful to the photographer during the shoot. For example, the horizontal and vertical tilt, so the camera will also be held horizontally to prevent a crooked horizon. The vertical tilt contrast helps to not tilt the camera and thus avoid plunging lines.
An upgrade on a future firmware, which can then be played via the USB connection from the user, provides for the use of all cameras with flash shoe. The coordinates need to be here after playing in software in the images, the RAW format is not supported - it is limited to JPEG. About Flash shutter the Geotagger should always save the coordinates when a picture is taken. In addition, the Geotagger has a logging feature, are placed in permanent positions in the GPS internal memory, which provides for which 60,000 presets. Thus, in principle, possible with the use of cameras without hot shoe. An indoor function ensures that is used in the absence of GPS signal, the last known position - at least until the GPS is turned off. The power supply can be transferred via a built-in battery or the aforementioned Nikon cameras via the camera’s battery. The price for the Geotagger is around EUR 300.
