Hello List,

I am going to do a cross country trip form NYC to SF this upcoming  
month for 15 days. We have a lot of destination points in our way. I  
am really excited about this journey since it's the first time I am  
going to see "other" side of the US. I am also looking possible ways  
of doing blogging and most importantly geotagging my pictures along  
the way.

Let me summarize what I am looking for so that you can recommend me  
what kind of path I should follow regarding this. I have a Sony  
Digital camera which I am going to take most of my pictures. I am  
thinking to stay away from my phone's camera (Nokia n80).  Instead I  
am seriously thinking to buy a GPS device and use its log to synch  
with my camera at the end of the journey(by looking and matching   
timestamps) so that I can add long/lat coordinates to images EXIF  
data. Is this possible? What kind of GPS device should I be looking  
for? What's your favourite one? My phone has bluetooth capabilities  
so I can use a bluetooth GPS device but then do I need a custom  
application on the phone in order to log this data?


I would appreciate any help
best,
ilteris
