I have been doing the same thing for about a year now. Location (Latitude and Longitude) and altitude data was obtained by mounting a handy GPS (Garmin e-Trex Vista) in my plane. Acquired data was processed using Kashmir3D software. Its available as a free ware at http://www.kashmir3d.com/index-e.html. You need to buy a digital map though. By using Kashbird, an image processing software which come with Kashmir3D, you can take still photos. Kashmir3D also has movie making capabilities, enabling you to sit inside the cockpit of your plane and experience virtual flight. I have an introductory how to article of this in the current issue of R/C Technique magazine, which is the most widely read R/C magazine in Japan. If you have friends into paragliding, they seem to do this GPS & PC imaging a lot. I am sure they can guide you to an English source for all this.
