Even before we started geocaching as a hobby, I have liked the idea of geolocating our photos in Flickr. I try to do it when I can, but even with Flickr's mapping features it can be a time consuming task. Now that we are geocaching and have invested in a handheld GPS unit, I've discovered a few neat tools for automatically geotagging images using tracking data from our GPS. Of course, I'm not saying that managing our pictures isn't already a full time job, but some of these tools do take the tediousness out of the process and I'm more likely to tag and geotag our images from now on.
We tend to take most of our pictures while out geocaching anymore. That's not to say non-geocachers can't do this, you would just need a handheld GPS unit with tracking turned on while you're out taking pictures. Naturally ours is usually turned on since we're hunting geocaches, but I would certainly consider taking ours along with us if we were sightseeing somewhere and I wanted to save our locations to our photos. I will add some of my favorite geocaching tools to the end for anybody interested, and show a few examples of how I've been using the data and pictures that we do have.
