So here you come, Konica lover?

I see that GPS thingie for first time (I believe this is for specialist use), while camera is....uh, I have wanted one. It's called also Konica Offroad. I think Petronius has one (or very similar). Very good for it's class wide lens in water/sand proof package, it's nice combo.

It looks like it be useful for some types of surveying of remote site, such as in archeology.

The GPS info would be imprinted to film.

I bought it on ebay and it arrived as described. It was listed as $700 and I low balled $400, not expecting it to be accepted -- surprise. I don't need it. It is as advertised. I've already listed it on ebay and may here as well.

I like the camera! Too bad you don't keep it.

I have the camera (Konica Off-road, as btgc stated), without this GPS gizmo. The camera itself is very nice, one of my favourite street shooters. I bought it for one Euro plus shipping on german ebay. I´m still on the hunt for the orange and green versions.
The output is nice, imho:

I have owned the regular version for several years and have enjoyed its ruggedness and excellent - optical - performance. Ir's the perfect street shooter - especially in bad weather. Throw it in the glove compartment or put in your coat pocket and of you go. Got mine for very little money at a thrift store.l
