Got confused by the track files that the ATP Photofinder produces. The KML files that it can export (on request) to the camera's SD card do not contain date/timestamps, so cannot be used to manually geotag your images using other software (should you want to do that). Instead, you have to connect the device itself via its USB-2 port to your computer - you then get access to Magellen .log format files that contain all the GPS data - which you can then convert to GPX format (or whatever) using utilities like GPS Utility.

Mashups workshop
Mashups workshop,
originally uploaded by hockeyshooter.
Following Tony's demonstrations with Yahoo Pipes (which I had briefly looked at before but got nowhere with) I had another play this evening and produced http://tinyurl.com/2axs6y which puts all places mentioned in the last 50 news stories from my department's website onto a Yahoo Map. I wanted to go a bit further and use Google Maps instead, but its just too slow loading in all the data.
