Nikon and National Geographic partner to launch a GPS-enabled camera and companion web site. The camera gives turn-by-turn directions to photos taken with the camera. Integrating fully with National Geographic magazine, each photo in the magazine has a location code so users can get turn-by-turn directions to photos in the magazine.
Navipix also features real-time photo-expedition broadcasting from the camera to the web site. The camera allows users to publish photo-expeditions to the public pages or private pages for friends and family with password protection. The web site shows detailed maps marked with photos so users can follow along from home. National Geographic magazine photos are also published online via photo-expeditions.
Navipix empowers users to become virtual National Geographic corespondents, as the photos they take can be published online.
