I do have a GPS route file that I can give you if you want it. If you want a copy, just email me via the email I have on my About the Photographer page. I recorded the route using a Canon GE-E2 GPS. I have the route in Canon NMEA, Google Earth KMZ, and GPX formats. There is just a note about the route. It was fairly accurate and all from my trip to the BART station and all the way on BART (for the parts of the trip above ground), but once I got into San Francisco, it started to get inaccurate. In San Francisco, most of the location was with in 300 feet of the actual location but I had 2 photos that were a bit less than 1600 feet off. It did not work so well in a big city, but last time in Shadow Cliff Regional Park in Pleasanton, CA, it was very accurate (with in 5-10 feet).
