Slashdot links and discuss the recently launched Jelbert GeoTagger, an hardware device to geotag photos. From the website: "The Jelbert GeoTagger is a compact device, smaller than most flash guns, that uniquely connects to the camera flash show and follows the directions of the camera lens. Once fitted, it will record the precise location and direction of every photograph you take." Their geocoding is done using the not-included RoboGEO. Update: 09/27 16:00 GMT by S : The GEB tells us RoboGEO 5.0 has just been released.

Sony GPS-CS1 Reviewed [+]
The Map Room links to a exhaustive review of the Sony's GPS-CS1 datalogger with photo geocoding by the Science Library Pad blog (with screenshots). The review's conclusions: "This device does a great job of easily and automatically recording your location, for later use in geocoding photos (or any other application where a GPS track would be useful). You may, however, want to use a different software package to do the actual photo geocoding; the software provided with the unit is incredibly basic."
