I am intrigued by GPS enabled cameras. There are only a few in production and they are fairly expensive as yet, but they offer the promise of making it quick and simple to place photos on a map. The camera records your GPS coordinates as you shoot, then automated software uploads your photos to a map with their exact locations.
Robogeo is a software solution that provides a bridge between your camera and GPS device. You sync the clocks on your camera and GPS. When you get home Robogeo compares the time stamp on the pictures with the GPS data from your trip and automatically geotags the photos. It will even upload them to Google Earth or Google Maps (examples here and here).
I am going to buy Robogeo tonight and begin experimenting.

Interesting product, but I wonder what it can do that a good digital camera in tandem with a good gps cannot do?!
Bill, the idea is that is automatically links the two, and simplifies the process. I tried it out last night with mixed results, which I will try to post soon.
