Here in NZ the DC3 was the backbone of the National Airways Corporation (NAC) for a long time - Now Air NZ. They also had ones with much larger rectangular windows called Viewmasters. The DC3 was also used for many years by our Civil Aviation Department for flying around this end of the Pacific doing all the checking and calibration of light houses, aviation beacons etc. DC3's were converted to do aerial topdressing as well.

Here in Auckland there is one I see every weekend, it flies out of Ardmore and takes people for scenic trips over Auckland. The old familiar throb of its engines are very distinctive.

There is also another one in the South Island http://www.southerndc3.co.nz/home which does charter trips around the place as well.

There are two others here in the North Island that are used as features in Diners both mounted up a flight of stairs off the ground. One is a MacDonalds in Taupo.

One of the problems in replying to this is that there is just so much - the whole of NZ is awesome and spectacular photos are everywhere. It all depends as ever on the conditions, the light, etc etc. It is a beautiful country, and one of the real advantages of the whole of our country is that it is compressed, there are no vast distances to cover to get from one spectacular place to another. Think of travelling through an ever changing picture postcard with everything changing quite frequently and photos are just everywhere waiting to be taken.

I have also simply printed out the pages on one particular topic from the manual at a time, 2 - 3 sheets, put them in a folder in my camera bag and simply focused on using that topic for a couple of days so as to slowly work through the plethora of things, but for me the You Tube approach really works. I just take 1 topic only and simply work with only that variable for several photo sessions to the exclusion of anything else that I could be doing or altering.

I looked my 60D up on YouTube. I have found about 50 short movies 5 - 6 minutes long, from 3, 4 good sources that are tutorial courses for the camera. I use these to help me greatly. I pick on one topic and then go through the tutorial on that topic from each source as they all have their own little spins, and sitting watching, going along with my camera in my hands at the same time really assists getting the topic loaded into my head.

Thanks - Found it.

Geotracker works brilliantly, answers all my questions and more.

Its easy to use, merges the GPX file quickly and adds all sorts of static information if I set the information up, as well as having the ability to fill in the location names etc.

It is a great little piece of software.

Its the name of the Utility that I am trying to find out?

I use a Garmin GPSmap 62s having upgraded from a eTrex. Colour screen, micro SD separate chip. Have the complete Topos for both Australia and NZ on it as well as a lot of Garmin's Birdseye Satellite terrain pictures superimposed.

Its a unit I bought specifically for Yachting, Tramping, Skiing, Biking, Hiking, Tramping - anything outdoors. Its waterproof and also has an acceptable Vehicle presentation and all the usual navigation features when used in a vehicle. Its waterproof and robust. Runs for about 28 hours on 2 good quality AA batteries, but I use mine so much I use rechargables in it, and plug it into the car when driving with it.

I am one of the Have Nots not the "Most of Us" unfortunately.

I wanted the quality that a great DSLR gives me without the added expense of smart phones and plans and data rates and calling plans etc etc.

With the time and effort I put into GPS tracking and the recording of tracks, the little extra I might need to do to marry up GPS Track Time with Photo Time is something I'd be more than happy to be doing.

Thanks for this input.

I spend a lot of time between the GPS and Camera. I use Garmin's Basecamp to track all my trips and have a complete record of everywhere significant I have been in my life, by country and activity, so whether its ski trails, yachting trips, tramping, canoeing, biking or road trips etc, I have everything recorded and transcribed all my pre GPS trips from hand drawn traces on 1:250,000 Topo Maps into Basecamp. So I have a great interest in being able to bring the two technologies together.

I bought the Garmin as a single unit to satisfy the following shopping list - I wanted a GPS to take skiing, tramping, biking, yachting, and to hold all the Topo Maps for NZ and Australia, and lastly to use between the car and the campervan. We even use it in Radio Controlled aircraft as well.

I also carry a GPS full time and track all my trips.

What is the small utility that you use to match up the data from the time stamps?

Reading this item, my feelings are that the GPS is built for the job it does, the aerial is good, and the whole system is set up for the best battery life it can deliver, so to use the camera Canon EOS60D for what it was intended - taking great photos, and my Garmin GPSmap 62s for what it is built to deliver, then have something that will marry the two data streams seems to me to be the best of both worlds.

I would love to be able to get the software and do this also.
