One of the nice feature in this is that it lets you view your journey as virtual pins on a Google Map.

Call me thick, but how does the little gadget comunicate with the digicam?

I think... it does not communicate with the cybershot camera directly... more so when the pictures are on your pc and the GPS is connected....
"Using time and location recordings from Sony’s GPS-CS1 GPS device and the time stamp from a Sony digital still camera or camcorder, photo buffs can plot their digital images to a map and pinpoint exactly where they’ve been."
Taken from press release...
Hmmmm wondering if it Apple Mac friendly....

seems like a good idea, but I think its been implemented wrong because now instead of just carrying a camera you have to carry a gps thing and a camera

Sony has released its GPS-CS1KA GPS Unit this month, allowing any digital camera that takes Exif 2.1-compatible images to have location data saved alongside it.
