Fred, I have played with this for a few years. After seeing one program that cost a few hundred dollars I decided to try it on my own. I found a program Exifer http://www.exifer.friedemann.info/ which will scan through your photos and get the 'EXIF' Data (Date and time and much more) taken and export that information out to a file. Using dBase, and importing the data from the GPS (using Expert GPS) I was able to match the date and time to the closest date and time from the GPS tracking Log. (I'm using a Geko 201. it stores 10,000 points in its internal log and save it using ExpertGPS about once a week, about 530 miles, using about 6000 points) I then attach the Lat, lon to the picture database that was exported form Exifer. What you end up with is a file with the fields Name (name of photo, IMG 003285.jpg) , date, time, latitude, longitude) Make sure the time in the camera matches the GPS time for more accurate results. Load the database into Maptitude and it will create the points using the latitude and longitude. I don't remember real clear on how to set it up but by using the 'Info Link' button on the toolbar and clicking on the point it would open up the picture from that point in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer or a viewer you can set up. From their you can scroll in either direction to view the photos. Looking at exifer there is a place that stores the lat, lon into the photo directly. Although I could not see a way for Maptitude to recognize the lat,lon from the file, I took the above route and did not peruse on how that would be done. I suppose you could do the same in MS Access with an update query if you are familiar with that program. In simple terms match the photo date/time with the GPS date/time.
