Nokia Beta Labs Launches Location Tagger: Tag, Mashup, And Organize Your Pic Collection With GPS Coordinates
Nokia Beta Labs has released a new Location Tagger app that allows you to tag digital photos with GPS coordinates. Using in-built GPS, the app tags the exact latitude and longitude a photo is taken in the EXIF header of the JPEG file and then allows you to mashup your photo data on Google Maps or similar platforms to organize and display your collection. Eventually, the Location Tagger standalone app will most likely find itself integrated into Nokia handsets.

Zimmer Frame Walker With GPS Will Help You Find Your Way…Around The Nursing Home
Do you have a grandparent in a nursing home that always seems to be getting lost? Perhaps said grandparent would benefit from a GPS navigator on their walker! Residents of a Dutch nursing home have been trying out the geeky new system for a few months now after being designed by some college students to assist those dealing with amnesia. The system is completely wireless to eliminate some of the reception problems commonly seen in mainstream GPS units when used inside buildings or tunnels and simply designed, using only 5 buttons, easy-to-understand symbols, and giant arrows pointing in the right direction. Even the most orientation-challenged can find their way around the home with this unit. We sure hope this things were designed well, because we wouldn’t want any grandparents wandering out into traffic now, would we?

Cowon N13 TPEG Plus A Premium GPS/Multimedia Bundle
The Cowon N13 TPEG Plus is an impressive, multi-functional new GPS navigator with multimedia capabilities just released in Korea. When it’ll hit the US, if it does, we don’t know. But we do know that we’d like to get our hands on one.
Featuring an 7-inch WVGA TFT LCD color screen from Samsung, a high-end SiRF III chipset, and TPEG, Cowon’s N13 is a premium navigational system. TPEG, short for Transportation Protocol Expert Group, is Cowon’s technology for receiving live, up-to-the-minute traffic updates, a must-have for today’s GPS systems. While the N13 may be a great GPS unit, it also has some impressive multimedia capabilities as well.
With audio and video capabilities, the N13 makes for a great portable media device as well. Utilizing Alchemy AU 1250 600MHz to improve video playback, the Cowon N13 TPEG Plus also features 2 SD slots, a USB port, and AV inputs and outputs. What makes the N13 unique is its ability to carry out both navigational and multimedia functions simultaneously using both picture-in-picture and navigation-in-picture, so you can go as far as watching a video while navigating from the same screen.
The Cowon N13 TPEG Plus is priced at 519, 000 Korean Won, equivalent to US$552.
