    Yes please. If people are going to buy this they want to buy the kit to perform the whole job. When was the last time you had to buy the engine separately from the car? Of course there's no harm in offering it without Garmin too for those that already have one.

    The problems with this method with the Jelbert GeoTagger seems to overcome are: 1. The GPS software is not going to know which way you are facing when you stop and take a picture, the Jelbert GeoTagger uses real compass data from the Garmin GPS unit (not a GPS compass). 2. If the sample rate on the GPS track is more than a few seconds then it is going to be inaccurate. This GeoTagger captures the position at the moment the picture is taken, it doesn't rely on predictions based on a constant movement. This Jelbert GeoTagger seems to be ideal for someone like me who takes lots of scenic outdoor pictures, and would suit insurance companies, police etc, who want to capture where an image was taken and in which direction.

    Of course it isn't a Sony, but we all knew that; and yes Sony do make a tagging product. But the BIG difference is that the Sony one does not include compass direction. So you can pinpoint where a picture was taken, but you have no directional reference. The Jelbert GeoTagger captures location and direction, and I believe it can even include the pitch too. For me this is much more useful.

    Useful post, thank you, but many of these methods are slow and are not likely to include compass direction. I've used a Jelbert GeoTagger and have found that it is ideal for capturing not only position but also direction information and storing it for linking to each picture. Privacy need not be a problem because you can easly switch it off or take it off the camera. The unit is ideal for tagging lots of pictures with geographic information each time - it would be a pain to do it manually for each picture.
