I do a lot of GeoCaching (See www.geocaching.com) and originally had a
Magellan GPS. When that failed, I ended up getting an HP PDA on eBay
and a bluetooth GPS unit to talk to the PDA. It allowed all the GPS
stuff the Magellan did, plus a lot more. In addition it was a PDA and
stored all my ebooks etc and a voice recorder for note taking. Very
handy.  You could go the same route with a camera based PDA

Ricoh make a camera that has a GPS called the Ricoh Pro G3. It embeds
the GPS coordinate onto the photo similar to a time/date stamp. You
can also turn that function off if you don't want it to show on the photo.
