For decades, Nikon's Nikonos underwater camera series set the standard for underwater photography. Nikon stopped manufacturing the film-based cameras a few years ago, but is now making digital waterproof cameras. The AW110 has one of the highest resolution sensors among the waterproof cameras and a number of features, including GPS and HD video. The camera's built-in maps let you view your path, and it has an electronic compass that can help you stay on path.

The Panasonic DMC-TS5 is one of the most popular waterproof cameras with GPS on Amazon. In addition to the GPS features, the DMC-TS5 also includes built-in a compass, altimeter and barometer. It takes both still images and HD video with a 16.1 MP sensor and a 28mm wide angle lens.

The GPS function of this camera can pinpoint the country/region, state/province, county/township, city/town/village and landmarks where the photos or videos were taken. It includes 203 countries/regions and more than 1,000,000 landmarks. The Lumix TS4 also features an internal clock that automatically adjusts to the local time when GPS is enabled--a handy feature for travelers. This extremely popular camera is great as a waterproof backup or as a primary camera.

At the time of this writing, the Fuji FinePix XP150 one of the most affordable underwater cameras with GPS on Amazon. If you're looking for an inexpensive underwater camera with geo tagging, this is the one.
