Eye-Fi Explore

The Eye-Fi Explore is the most sophisticated version in the Eye-Fi SD card family. It has the same functionality as the other 2 memory card options (Eye-Fi Home and Eye-Fi Share), allowing you to wirelessly upload your photos to your computer and other photo-sharing websites. The major difference with the Explore version is the ability to geotag all of your photos taken. It uses the Skyhook wireless service, which is the same service used by the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. The service determines your position based on the Wi-Fi hotspot you're acessing. The Eye-Fi Explore uses Wayport to access Wi-Fi hotspots and comes with free hotspot access for 1 year.

So you need WiFi connection for geotagging using Eye Fi, how can you get wifi when you're hiking in the mountain? :-P
