Electronic Data Solutions is your source for GPS-Photo Link Pro Software, Wind Image for ArcMap Software and the Ricoh Capito 500SE GPS Camera. The powerful bundle makes photo mapping simple. Plus it is backed by the experienced Elecdata technical support group.

Ricoh Capture Location Data With Your Images

  • Automatically embeds GPS coordinates with captured images
  • Seamless transfer of pictures and data to mapping software
  • Rugged field-ready Geo-imaging solution
  • Superior resolution and ease of use

    Complete Geo-imaging Solution

    Wireless Imaging Simplified
    Bidirectional communication capabilities allow for instant transfer of images to mobile devices via Bluetooth or optional WiFi. Alternately, the camera accepts NMEA data from external Bluetooth-enabled GPS devices.

    Bidirectional Geo-coded Images and Video
    The 500SEs large LCD provides precise real-time WGS-84 or MGRS position information derived from either the camera detachable GPS module or from external GPS devices. As content is captured, this data is embedded into the media file header.

    Designed To Deliver
    Machine reliability and image quality are the foundation of the 500SEs design. Built to withstand the harshest of outdoor environments, the 500SE is easy to operate and captures stunning 8MP images and superb video in any condition.

    Embedded Attribute Data
    In addition to storing GPS data in image and video, the 500SE provides a user-defined data-dictionary for tagging the media with workflow-related information. This meta-data becomes attributes in any GIS system and may be automatically imprinted on the images.

    Automatic Map Integration
    Geo-coded images and video are automatically converted into layer files by available GIS plug-ins. Hovering over a point displays a thumbnail with the user-defined attributes, while clicking on the point opens the full-size image.

    Ricoh Ricoh 500SE Camera Features:

  • 8.0 mega pixels and 3x optical zoom.
  • Ruggedized, waterproof & shock resistant with image stabilization.
  • WAAS GPS module (SE-2g).

  • Built-in Bluetooth with optional WiFi available.
  • Native wide-angle 28mm lenses (also accepts 37mm screw on lenses).
  • Stores 5 different memos or field notes for each picture taken, which are output as attributes attached to the photo point.
  • Barcodes can be read through the lens and scanned into a memo field.
  • Connect the camera to a Bluetooth Laser Rangefinder and the distance and direction to the object can be recorded.
  • Connect to external GPS for greater accuracy.
  • GPS Lock feature allows you to store the location of an object then walk back and take the picture.
