Snowshoeing & GPS

I got a neat little gadget a few weeks back that lets me track my GPS coordinates every few seconds. This may sound pretty geeky, and it is, but the great part about it, besides being able to see the route we took snowshoeing in Kananaskis on the weekend (above picture), is that I'm also able to geotag all the photos taken during that time. Basically, the GPS data logger and the camera are linked by their time stamps and with a little software each photo is tagged with coordinates so they can be viewed in Picasa or flickr on a map.

Pretty cool I know! So hopefully I'll be able to tag most of my South America photos and be reminded years later (or next week) where I took them.
