That is assuming everyone uses Lightroom, I don't and likely will not.

The Holux M1000c (now replaced by RCV-3000) is a good logger, but there's no visual cue if it's logging correctly, aside from a single LED. Some people use a Bluetooth device on their camera (like the Foolography unit) which syncs with the Holux GPS, but this seems the most cumbersome option. You need to make sure the BT syncs with the GPS box and they are within range. One of those "looks good on theory but hassle in real life".
Actually there are two LED's that blink in a sequence when it has locked onto satellites, so this confirms the logger is capturing waypoints. I do not find it cumbersome in the slightest, turn on Holux, turn on camera, wait 30 seconds for acquisition, put Holux in pocket(left on), press camera shutter, bingo, GPS data embedded into Exif. Turn off camera between shots, turn on camera, press shutter, bingo, GPS data embedded, rinse and repeat. The logger has such a good battery endurance that you can go pretty much a full day on one charge.

I've researched a lot about the Holux M-241, and it seems an awesome affordable unit, but there were issues about it not saving the files when the battery runs out. This could be a huge problem. Imagine an all-day trip where you're supposed to be logging when, at the end of the day you realize your battery had died around 6pm and the entire trip was lost.
Not sure about my Holux M-1000C, I have taken the battery out and the data is still recoverable.

.....which brings us back to the iPhone solution. You see the log in real time and save it on the spot. Then it gets transferred to your Dropbox which means it's backed up in 2 places already. Like most people embarking on a long trip, I agonized on all these GPS options and I found the iPhone one to be the most effective and convenient.
Just don't lose your phone!!!
I looked at this app, I didn't like that the app has full access to my Dropbox, not just the data folder it is linked to. I wasn't able to confirm that I could lock all other folders so for me, the security of my other Dropbox content this wasn't going to work for me.
