The Red Hen Systems solution is a nice COMPLETE package and I would
certainly recommend it.  They build good products and are a good company to
do business with.

If you are on a tight budget or have a need to build this kind of
functionality yourself consider this...

You digital camera and your GPS device have something in common ... Their
clock.

Using time as the relational key you can relate GPS records and photographs
together.  It may not be as straight forward as using an equality operator,
but ponder the alternative logic rules that can be used.  A little "post
processing" and you can create a set of relational keys between GPS point
and images without too much difficulty.  

While not a complete solution this would get you most of the way there.  I
will leave the rest of the requirements up to you to figure out, such as the
storage display strategy of the images.

More good luck

Hello Yoshiro:

Check out Red Hen Systems, they have a way to fuse GPS with almost digital
camera.  Once you have the coordinates, it is very easy to create points
from them.  If you host the photos on the web, I believe there is a way to
hyperlink those points to them...although I've never tried it personally.

Good Luck,

Subject: MI-L digital camera with GPS -> Mapinfo


I am looking for a solution in which
pictures of patients are taken by a digital camera compatible with hand-held
(or builtin) GPS, and
these pictures together with patient-related information are linked to
Mapinfo, so that
by clicking symbols on Mapinfo, these pictures and information could be
retrieved.

It would be appreciated if you could suggest products of GPS, digital
camera,
and software.

I do no care much about resolution of the photos, but prices do count.

I would like to use a handheld GPS, Garmin II, if possible.

Thank you.
