    • Ricoh Caplio 500SE — GPS and Compass

    The 500SE GPS-Camera is available with integrated GPS device and integrated digital compass. Besides the coordinates, the camera can capture the direction from which the photo is taken. External software can place the photos on digital maps, Geographical Information Systems or Google Earth.

    The camera can store all relevant information of the capture in one file, producing a geocoded photograph. Adding text-memos allows organizing the pictures not only by location and time, but also by name, before uploading.

    Special Features

  • GPS (accuracy of 6–30 ft)
  • Compass

    • Google Earth integration

    As with other geocoded photographs, Google Earth can read the GPS-Information from the Exif header of the images and display pictures at the position they were taken. Even GPS-Tracks can be displayed, showing the route on which the pictures were taken.

    GIS integration

    The pictures can also be used in combination with GIS users. This might be the most common use of the Ricoh Caplio 500SE with GPS and Compass. Application include fields of object and status quo documentation. Geotagged photos including the direction in which the photo was taken can be useful:

  • Tourism (Touristic Sights, Landscapes & Impressions, Hotels & Restaurants, Route Documentation, Signs,Touristic Offers...)
  • Real Estate (Outside Views, Location,Surrounding, Highway Connection...)
  • Traffic (Signs, Road Construction Site Inventory, Hazards,Accidents, Road Damages...)
  • Environment Management (Environmental Inventories, Biodviersity Mapping, Tree Register, Status Quo Documentation...)
  • Regulatory Agency(Graffiti, Vandalism...)
  • Disaster Management (Status Quo, Road Ways to approach, Resources,Potential Threat...)

    • Ricoh Caplio 500SE — Barcode Scanner

    Since 2008, the RICOH Caplio 500SE is available with an integrated barcode scanner. It is commonly used in transport and logistic industries to identify and capture condition and integrity of goods and containers through their barcodes. The camera automatically writes the scanned barcode information into the Exif header of the photo. If you wish you can show the barcode information as an imprint in the photo. The Ricoh 500SE-W can connect your camera through its W-LAN connection directly with servers and so sent the photos from where you are.
