GPS + Digital Camera = Pictures in Google Maps

I am looking for a low cost way to automatically take pictures with a
geographic tag, and then get them into Google Maps.

Has anyone had any luck with this and would be willing to post about
their experience here?

Thanks!

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocoded_photo there are
plenty of freeware programs there that will parse a GPX file to add
GPS data to the JPG file.

Flikr will automatically place the JPG onto a Google map e.g. see my
site http://flickr.com/photos/tferenc/

I have recently been testing the best geocoding software that I have found
so far, and it is free from http://code.google.com/p/gpicsync/

It will do two things simultaneously:
1) Put the lat and lon in the EXIF header and put the location relative to a
named point on earth along with the lat and lon in the IPTC data.
2) Create a google earth file so you can view the picture locations with
google earth.

You have choices in just how it operates, but the basic concept is that it
compares a tracklog in a .gpx file to the time the picture was taken and
assigns the lat an lon of the nearest (in time) trackpoint.

This is an easy way to document the locations of your digital photos.

Again, it could be made with Perfils too (www.amigosdelciclismo.com/
perfils).
You only need to adjust the camera clock with the GPS clock (in
preferences), then the program locates the photographs on a track
based on the date-time it was taken. The program creates waypoints
that could be seen with the program itself or exported with the track
file to PLT, TRK, GPX or KML file.
