Well, well. They were clearly reading our little GPS thread ...

"Mounted on the hot shoe of select PENTAX digital SLR cameras,* the O-GPS1 unit records latitude, longitude, altitude, and universal time coordinated (UTC) of shooting locations with captured images. Image files with this GPS data may be used to track shooting locations and review location data on a personal computing device."

They must have hacked the hotshoe interface to handle serial I/O from the GPS. I suppose the hotshoe already talks to the flash serially, so they have added the GPS as a serial device distinct from a flash. Clever! I don't recall any of us coming up with that solution.

A mere $249 US.
