It's very cool, isn't it? What model of Garmin are you using, and how did you get the data into your computer? I assume it probably has a USB connection. Or does it have a removable card? GPSPhotoLinker is a great program for this - certainly the best on Mac at the price ;-). For a trip that takes you to a lot of places, it's really worth the extra time to add the tags. Peter Becky,

I copied my Garmin data files to my computer and used a program GPSPhotoLinker to write the GPS coordinates into the metadata of the raw files. Of course, the car Garmin didn't go everywhere the camera did, but I got a very close match with the image to the GPS data. I had to modify my process to copy images from my cards to my computer, but it was worth it. I actually got GPS data into the images I shot from vacation last month.

I suspect that part of the problem is that any conventional onboard GPS will lose signal much of the time (indoors, outside in tall buildings). They may not want to put out a product that will generate so many people complaining that it does not work. Also, GPS chips eat batteries like nobody's business. Do you see how fast your iPhone batter drains when you are using it to track? A GPS chip will have significant impact on a camera's battery life. Even worse, the chip needs to be turned on for a while to get signal, so you can't just power it down all the time. I'll be addressing all this and more in my PhotoPlus presentation next week...

Do you know of any hi end digital cameras with GPS tagging enabled inside the cameras that exist now, or ones that might be on the horizon? This seems like something they might start to offer?
