Swiss-based u-blox, a global leader in wireless and
positioning modules and integrated circuits, has been chosen by Leica Camera as
provider of GPS technology for its premium M-System camera and accessory
series.
The eminent provider of high-end and professional cameras
has integrated u-blox’ NEO GPS module into its new feature-rich handgrip, the
Multifunctional Handgrip M. The geotagging feature injects location data
directly into each photo’s Exif header (Exchangeable image file format),
allowing photos to be filed and retrieved according to where they were taken.
The accessory is compatible with the new flagship Leica-M rangefinder digital
camera series.
