[QUOTE=DavidTrap;893069]Sad situation to hear Chris,
I have a GPS logger. It is a separate device that logs your position every 10 seconds and provided your camera's time is correct, you can sync the position log to your photos. Mine was about $120, and uses a rechargeable battery that lasts about 40hrs. The battery is the same as in an old Nokia mobile phone, so easily replaced (for a couple of years I guess!).
Unfortunately it's not a super simple process. One bit of software to download the GPS log file and another (Lightroom) to sync it to the photos.
As far as I can tell from a quick web search, you need a 5DIII to use a genuine Canon hotshoe GPS reciever that will add the GPS coordinates to the EXIF data when you actually take the shot.
Thanks David,I was unaware of how such works or worked,I just have heard people mention GPS data on files,never really ever thought such is something I may need.
Maybe a 'hand held GPS' box thing might be handy-I know nothing about these either,but given the rough excursions and things I stumble across might be rather useful.
