GPS for Sony digital cameras

I am a fan of various gadgets. Sony announced a cool gadget: a device that lets you plot your digital images to a map.

Quote from the press release:

“Using time and location recordings from Sony’s GPS-CS1 GPS device and the time stamp from a Sony digital still camera or camcorder, photo buffs can plot their digital images to a map and pinpoint exactly where they’ve been.
The 12-channel GPS unit is 3-½ inches long, weighs two ounces, and is sold with a carabineer to easily attach to a backpack or a belt loop.

[…]

To arrange your pictures geographically, import the logged data from the GPS device, using the supplied USB cable, and then download the digital images to a computer. The supplied GPS Image Tracker software synchronizes the images on your digital camera with the latitude, longitude and time readings from the GPS-CS1 device.

Once synchronized, your photos can become virtual push pins on an online map by activating the Picture Motion Browser software bundled with the latest Sony cameras and camcorders released after July. You can easily add new photos and coordinates to the mapping web site, courtesy of Google Maps, and showcase years of globe-trotting.”

I do have my shares of pictures (see some of my pictures here) I would like to put on the map. Combined with Google Earth it would be a great show for the family and friends.

Unlucky me, I have a Cannon camera, so I have to wait. :-(
