Yes, there's a gvsig mobile, but it requires Java which your HP might already have but is otherwise a hassle to get a hold of if your device didn't come with it. http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=gvsig-mobile&L=2 As for geotag, I've had decent luck writing python applications on that version of PPC including grabbing NMEA strings from a connected GPS. Combined with the PIL package for python you should be able to make a simple geotag app. I don't know of one out of the box. You can get all my code from http://www.siafoo.net/library/23 It's sounds like you just need a GPS logger and will tag the photos back on the desktop. If that's the case there are lots of applications for that like digikam.
