I was eyeing Pentax's new GPS hotshoe accessory for geotagging photos and noticed it also includes a digital compass and will record the camera direction as well as latitude & longitude.

That got me wondering — if you combine the lat/long, compass bearing and lens focal length, you'd have a pretty good sense of the camera's position and field of view. Are there any interesting ways of viewing this data?

Obviously many photo organization programs will let you plot your photo locations on a map, but I was hoping forwould like a way to visualize more interesting visualizationdata, perhaps generating plots like this wikipedia diagram. In theoryIs there is enough information to construct a Photosynth-like composition without actually examining the photos.any software that displays this data?
