You can get the same results with less expensive hardware and alternative tools. Any GPS receiver with interface to PC, supported by Linux and any digital camera which tags photos via EXIF (any).
There is a program for Linux called "gpscorrelate" (<a href="http://freefoote.dview.net/linux_gpscorr.html" title="dview.net">http://freefoote.dview.net/linux_gpscorr.html</a dview.net>) which you can use to automatically tag JPG fotos taken from a camera correlating the JPG EXIF's date and time to the GPS's tracklog. Just extract the tracklog in GPX format from the GPS, load it and the images to "gpscorrelate", enter the time shift with respect to GMT, and you are done: the images get added GPS data to the appropiate locations in the EXIF header.
Then you can use the tagged photos as you will, be it with the scripts shown in the article or any other alternative, for example the GPS module for gallery2.
