using the GPS function of your camera - ???

[W00DY]

So.

I am off on a 10 day bash soon (the Variety Bash which is going from Blacktown to Batemans Bay via the outback, Great Ocean Road and the snowies)... and I remember reading/hearing something about how you can hook up your camera to a GPS (?) unit and get the exact location of where you took each image. What I woudl like to do is track where we went and then load it into a google map or something (is this possible) so I can look at the images from a map ratehr than just a boring old folder... does this all make sense?

I don't have too long to organise this (I ALWAYS leave these things late) and if it is going to cost me too much than I will forget it (anyone want to lend me whatever it is I need )!!!

So, what do I need, where do I get it and can I do what i want to do?

Cheers,

Woody,
I've just received this GPS unit for my D200 http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/27786
Still haven't had time to play with it properly due to the baby but by all accounts it appears to do exactly what your after.
If you want to you can borrow mine for an evaluation as I wont be going anywhere outside Sydney for a few months, years..
