Or if you are more interested in the gps side of the equation look into the 
new Garmin Colorado 500 gps's that take photos. In any case check the 
quality of the photos you take. I wouldn't be satisfied with 3 mb photos 
anymore.

Another alternative is to carry a gps with you when taking pictures. Be sure 
to sync the clocks between the gps and the camera. There are several 
programs that will "geotag" your pictures from the gps's active track log by 
comparing the times. The geotag information gets written to the EXIF data 
associated with the picture.

I just called up one of my old photos to check out these facts. I used 
IrfanView (a free program) to view the photo. Under the Image menu item 
selected the Information item. Then selected EXIF Information button. Then 
selected "Show in Google Earth" button and up popped the view of Crater 
Lake! Pretty cool stuff!

Just responding to hiker who asked about  how to figure out where  the 
picture
was taken.
here you go
first option

COOLPIX P6000: Nikon's first camera with built-in GPS

second unit

Sony GPS-CS1KA Digital camera GPS unit

third unit

Sony GPS-CS1KASP Digital camera GPS unit

the last two plug into just about any camera.
the first is a bit pricey but its all in one, more for photo bugs
