The world is quickly getting smaller and smaller, and one prominent area that's helping this cause is geotagging, a GPS-based technology that adds location information to images and information posted online.

The downside? Well, devices need to have GPS-aware technology, and even in today's iWorld that's still not ubiquitous.

The GP-1 dongle changed that for Nikon DSLR users. The device fitted into the camera's hot shoe, adding GPS capability to an otherwise location-unaware camera.

Accessory maker Gisteq has one-upped Nikon with the PhotoTrackr Plus, a similar device that connects to your Nikon's 10 pin terminal and transferring geo-data via Bluetooth, freeing up your hot shoe for it's intended purpose, holding your flash gun. Nifty!

The PhotoTrackr Plus costs $179 and works with both JPEG and Camera RAW workflows.
