Shame you don't have the ability to add GPS to your camera bushie.

It's a nice feature to have the geotag automatically put in to your metadata

I have the Pentax O-GPS1 unit on my K-5 and use GeoSetter for viewing camera direction and field of view on a Google Maps. I haven't tried it for adding coordinates.

The problem is that I often forget to fit the GPS to the camera. Also I can't use the on-board flash with it fitted nor can the GPS be used with my earlier Pentaxes, their firmware doesn't support it. I don't know what model Pentax is used by Martyn.

I'd much rather the GPS be fitted inside the camera.

Martyn, I tried Lou's aftermarket GPS on my camera hotshoe before buying the O-GPS1 and it worked until the shutter speed went over 1/180th sec where the Pentax no longer provided a flash trigger to the hotshoe.

I use a Qstarz gps tracker and Mac Travel Recorder

end of the day before I upload my images into IPhoto I run them past MacTravel Recorder and it automatically adds geodata to exif file.

the only thing it does not tell me was which direction I was pointing when I took the photo !!

I've got the GPSr ability on my current camera, with the O-GPS1, but I've been going through earlier trips, and older photos with a GPS track and recording the location into the exif.
Admittedly its going to be a slow labourious process but at least I can batch process in groups. No doubt there will be plenty of pics that I have no idea now, where they were taken.
