Re: Digital camera with GPS capability

Gps only knows your heading (and only whilst moving), not your bearing. So 
what you want would require a built-in compass and inclinometer and 
presumably some sort of rangefinder (or tied to the autofocus). I suspect 
the cost of such a device would be prohibitive.

 Earth can tie pictures with the geographic location of the
shots.  It would be nice if the camera itself records the GPS
coordinates, the pointing directions, the angle of the shots into the
digital picture.  Is there any such product in the market?
