How do I work with multiple timezones and GPS logging?

Question

I'm embarking on a trip across Europe in a few weeks. I have a QStarz GPS logger that I intend to use to log the trip and I will use the tools built into Aperture to geotag my photos when I return.

My only concern is crossing multiple timezones. What should I do to ensure I can tag my photos when I return without a lot of extra work adjusting metadata?

Answer

Another solution is setting you camera and GPS to the GMT timezone and never change it.

Then you can geotag your photos and time-adjust the GPS time-staps. Geosetter is an alternative geotagger that can do this:

You can also add or subtract hours/minutes/seconds if the GPS and the Camera aren't perfectly synchronized.
