Ricoh America is enhancing their 500SE GPS-equipped digital camera with a new SE-2 GPS module line. The two modules, SE-2c and SE-2g, will allow for additional GPS features including a 3-axis compass for directional information, faster GPS fix times and significant power saving capabilities. The New Jersey-based company is also releasing a firmware update for upgrading attributes of field data through a data dictionary or barcode scanning capabilities. The update will also allow images to be imprinted with GPS position, azimuth and satellite time as they are captured.
