I assume a microcontroller that is continually reading NMEA sentences from the GPS for position and compass direction, and then logging when the camera's hot shoe closes.
I thought it very clever-I had not thought about using the hot shoe as a trigger.

"Sony has today announced a very interesting little device for
recording the position where photographs are taken. The GPS-CS1 is a
small (9 cm / 3.5 in) cylindrical device which you simply attach to a
backback or belt loop and carry with you while you shoot, it records
your GPS location and this information can later be synchronized with
your digital images to provide a map of where your photos were taken.
We assume it does this using date and time information stored in the
image header (which obviously requires your camera's clock to be
synchronized). Interestingly the mapping solution is an online website
with maps provided by Google Maps (it appears that the synchronization
software will write the GPS location into JPEG EXIF headers)."
