[pct-l] Sony GPS tracker for photography

[Tortoise]

Interesting concept.  Still there are questions -- just how does the GPS 
sync with your camera?? Is there some signal from the camera to record a 
waypoint each time you take a picture?  Or does the GPS constantly 
record your location?  Or how?

And if one is carrying a GPS, why not have a full function one that can 
be used for navigation?
