When you publish the book, please include maps showing the locations of
each shot. That's not too much to ask.

Would you like me to make a reservation for you at the hotels I stayed in?
Actually I've addressed the situation you mentioned for my own purposes.
Starting this year, I've geo-tagged every photo I've taken. That means
that
encoded in the EXIF data is the precise lat/lon coordinates I was standing
in when I took the shot. The software I use to do this will export the
geo-tag data as waypoints that can be used in Garmin's MapSource software.
This way, when I look at a photo 10 years from now, when I'm even more old
and feeble than I am now, I won't have to remember where I took the shot.
All I have to do is look at the EXIF data and it's permanently written
right
there. Cool stuff.

The E-3 has a NEMA input that will do that automatically.

Pretty cool.

So does the D200, but the adapter cable is expecting to see an old-fashioned
serial port at the other end. The last GPS I bought that had a serial port
was my Garmin V. I replaced that some time ago with an eTrex Vista Hcx,
which uses a USB port as do all the newer units. Anyway, I use a system
that doesn't require the camera to be tethered to a receiver.
www.robogeo.com. It works flawlessly, and there's a bunch of stuff you can
do with the data.

Now that is WAY cool.

When I start using my E-3, I'll have to get one of those.
