If it was that could be very handy when trying to pull up specific images in a mess of unknown files.
You can draw a box around an area in Google maps and search you image files for all shots taken in the bounded area. Conversely, you can open an image file, link to Google maps and pinpoint the taking location and the direction of shooting.
For outdoor sportsmen GPS is a real, valuable feature.
It is very simple - if I am carrying my K-3 more than 50 feet from my house I'm carrying a
Domke F4 Bag. Hmmmmm. Pockets. 55~300? Flash? O-GPS1?
I'll trade OBF for this utility and a 201FG every day of the week.
If I'm REALLY just out for a walk a K-3 is overkill - I have a K-01 in my pocket with a DA40/2.8 Ltd. mounted. Guess what is under that funny bump on the top of the K-01?
