I've been interested in Geotagging for a while; I even considered a GPS attachment for the Nikon SLR, but the reviews are all pretty poor. I have, in the past, done this with moderate success, using GPSED on my phone but it was limited to photos uploaded to the net.
With the announcement of Lightroom 4 - currently available as free beta - and it's map module I gave up on the GPS module and decided to persevere with the GPS logging and retrospective geotagging using Lightroom or Geosetter, both with the ability to write into the EXIF data area of the RAW files. As GPSED used to fail regularly on symbian phones, after a bit of research, found a great little app for the iPhone, it's called Trails from www.everytrail.com, the logs in GPX format load well into Lightroom and the app reduces the power consumption of the iPhone to the minimum.
This brings us to the problem of power while trekking. While it seems possible to charge phones at the lodges along the trek, there might be a better alternative. After reading too many dissapointing reviews about a miriad of solar chargers I decided finally to go with this: http://thesunleaf.com/
