that's about as close as it seems to get

There's a Sony one that looks like mp3 player. It doesn't need to be attached to the camera and it does the job by importing its own GPS information into the EXIF data.

I just got Pharos' Trips and Pics from BuyDig for $80....and it seems to work pretty well. You carry the GPS receiver with you then import the data points on your computer to match up with the pictures.

Do you have a link to the Sony? Thanks.

The geotagger above looks interesting. Thanks for that link.

The Nikon D200 can be hooked up to a GPS and will save the location of the photos you take.

Was in Hawaii and came very close to buying that camera just for that feature since I was visiting 5 different ports a week. But decided the money difference over the d70s wasn't worth it for one feature.

i'll note that only what i suggested records both location and direction.

Though that feature was the main concern of yours, don't you think d200 offers so much more than d70s?

It does, but I don't think I would have used most of the other fancy stuff 🙂

Also, at the time the D200 was new and I was working on a ship in Hawaii and would have had a REALLY hard time getting one. Meanwhile the D70s was right in front of me at the shop 🙂
