[Taxacom] GPS units that record the time a waypoint was taken

[Sean Edwards]

Garmin GPSMap 60CSx does exactly that, as Alec says. Moreover, plug it into 
a compatible camera (e.g. later Canon EOS) with a USB cable, and every 
photograph is logged with GPS coordinates (lat/long) and satellite time. 
Handy for photographic data recording in the field.
