[Kde-imaging] Xmas pressies - anyone recommend a good GPS device?

>>> BTW, how does it work?
>> The GPS just keeps a track with GPS position and date/time (very 
>> accurate in GPS devices). Then, the software (eg gpssync kipi-plugins or 
>> the windows software they provide) uses the date/time in the digital 
>> camera (usually not accurate at all) to get the right position :)
>> So, it's independant of the manufacturer (but I don't know anything 
>> about their windows software).
>>
>> The only important point is to define precisely the date/time of the 
>> digital camera (at least once a week because it's not accurate at all).
>> Somebody suggested to take a picture of a GPS date/time to check the 
>> time (if your GPS provides this feature) and I think it's a simple but 
>> great idea :)

Note that the sync problem is solved if you know the position of at 
least one of the pictures.
