I'm curious to hear from those that tag their digital photos with gps
derived location data. How do you do it and are you happy with your
solution.

I use Gartrip PC GPS software, which just happens to have a similar feature,
i.e. I didn't buy it for the feature.
If you have a GPS track recorded (I use a Garmin Foretrex for this purpose),
then you can read the track in to Gartrip and point it at a folder
containing your photos. Gartrip uses the time of the photo and the time from
the GPS track to determine the location at which the photo was taken. I
can't remember if it tags the photos or just creates a file of waypoints
named using the photo's file name.

I use RoboGEO (http://www.robogeo.com/home/ ). I've found this to be an
excellent program and use it all the time. It reads tracklogs from GPS
devices (I use a Garmin Forerunner 205) and then can write the GPS
coordinates to any JPG file as long as the time on the camera and the GPS is
synchronized. Even if it is not, you can work around this. Basically the
program just examines the tracklog to find the times that correspond most
closely to the times recorded in the EXIF data of the image files. Give it
a try - you'll definitely like it. Get back to me if you have further
questions.

there are three options with Gartrip:
1) it can just show you where a single photo was taken, by moving the
trackpointer there.
2) it can create a list of waypoints named using the photo's file name.
3) it can move the track pointer along the track, and whenever a location of
a photo is met, this photo is displayed like a slide show.

Have you tried gpisync? It will tag the exif file with gps data and also
find nearest geographical location then create a file to show location of
where photos were taken on Google's satellite maps. Available here
