Kodak Introduces Global Positioning System Solutions Kit for DC265 Cameras

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--June 18, 1999-- Where in the world are we today? Ask your camera. You can if your camera is a DC265 equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) and a special script from Kodak.

Integrating the next generation of GPS with the intelligent Kodak DC265 zoom digital camera, Eastman Kodak Company today introduced a new accessory kit enabling businesses and government bodies to record longitude/latitude information along with the date and precise time onto digital pictures.

Perfect for law enforcement, cartography and government applications, the GPS Solutions Kit is available on the Kodak web site (www.kodak.com) for ,999. The package includes a Kodak DC265 zoom digital camera, handheld Garmin III Plus unit, rugged aluminum mounting bracket, interface cable and GPS DIGITA script software.

The Garmin GPS III Plus features a powerful, 12-channel GPS receiver with a 36-hour battery and detachable antennae, which searches the sky in real-time for signals emitting from a constellation of 24 global positioning satellites. This unit allows the digital images to be automatically linked with the data from the GPS unit, including longitude, latitude and the precise time and date of capture. It features a 2.2-inch by 1.5-inch contrast LFN display with switchable orientation and weighs nine ounces.

For current owners of DC260 and DC265 cameras, Kodak plans a separate bundle of the Garmin GPS, mount, and GPS script.
