I like to use RoboGEO for geocoding my pics. Granted, you have to do it offline, but it works like a charm for me.

For my photos on my google maps I use DI-GPS unit for D200 see : http://www.camperfan.gr/content/view/32/47/
You might want to check it out. I am very happy with this ready to go and complete solution.
I made a wireless solution using Serial to bluetooth adaptor. The GPS receiver can now sit in my backpack.
Can’t you just carry the gps and sync up the tracks to the time on the photos after the fact? This seems to work well on geoladders.com, Where MTBers with gps take pictures along a trail, then everything gets geocoded after the fact.
Solmeta is horrible.
I finally posted instructions on how to make a GPS for the D200 that is self-enclosed, sits on the flash mount and is powered by the camera. For details, see my blog at http://www.rickwargo.com/2008/02/24/nikon-d200-gps-version-2/.
