Rugged, Compact AW100 Camera by Nikon, Maps by NAVTEQ

Here's a cool, rugged device... oh, and naturally it has GPS... sweet! Building on a news announcement other day that applauded Nikon for integrating GPS into their new S series of devices, now NAVTEQ is touting that they are the map provider for the very sweet Nikon COOLPIX AW Series of Digital Cameras. The AW100 is rugged, waterproof, shock resistant, GPS enabled and get this,  allows geo-tagged images to be pinpointed via Point of Interest (POI) data supplied with the NAVTEQ map – nice!
About the device… Unique to the AW100 is the ability for users to view their exact location on the map display that comes pre-loaded within the devices. Both devices are equipped with built-in GPS (Global Positioning System) functionality that allows geo-tagged images to be pinpointed via Point of Interest (POI) data supplied with the NAVTEQ map. FYI, this device will run you about $400!
