You mean this one by Transplant Computing? http://www.transplantcomputing.com/btgpspalm.html Friend of mine has one of these and uses it with his Palm Tungsten T and loves it. I haven't seen it in use but he says it's an impressive gadget.

Cool! Now we can geo-stalk you. You've become your own cache! You better have good trinkets in your pocket when we find you, too. It has been so long since I fooled with this I forget what the string on the photo is supposed to look like. Can you change the GPS output to DDDMMSS instead of DDDMM.MMM and what does that do to the string on the photo?

Yes it will be spitting out NMEA sentences at regular intervals. Try running Hyperterminal and just watch the NMEA strings spew from the GPS. That'll at least let you make sure you have the ports, baud, handshaking, etc. set up correctly.

I mucked with this when Kodak first released it and it took quite an effort and many tech support calls to both Garmin and Kodak to get it working. If I remember correctly it was some sort of a firmware problem. My notes say: "Make sure the baud rate of the GPS is 9600 and the firmware version is 2.08 or later on a GPSIII or 1.02 or later on a GPSIII+." I have written "2.00 was initial release" in the margin with an arrow pointing to the GPSIII+ 1.02 firmware version. It's been a long time since I fooled with it but I still have the Garm.CSM script archived if you want it.

Our Garmin Legend rocks! It fell out of my pocket during a rough hike and I didn't realize it until almost the end of the trip, over an hour later. We went back and found it submerged in a puddle. I thought it was toast. Imagine our amazement when we picked it up and it still worked! We have 3 Garmin GPSrs, they all rock, and my only complaint is that I don't own more! Keep up the great work, Garmin!

Just got an eTrex Legend from Garmin and it rocks! Also have the III+ and the GPS12 but the Legend is our favorite. It's small, lightweight, and waterproof. Haven't had any of the problems with signal loss that others reported.

It's older now but Kodak made (makes?) a solution that works with a Garmin GPS and actually puts Lat/Long right on the image when you snap the picture. http://www.kodak.com/US/en/digital/cameras/dc290/dc290GPSKit.jhtml
