Once you have found a location on the Yahoo map, you drag the pictures into position. Unless you are logging data, or using the Eye-Fi Explore (and isn’t it looking more attractive the further you read?), the easiest way to tag your pictures is to use an online option. Both will let you drag your photos to a map, in effect geotagging manually, but it’s a little laborious. Geophoto is the prettiest and most Mac-like, but weighs in as a 60MB download because of all the on-board maps. I have given both a quick test but they are laborious unless you have a GPS log file to work with.
For the Mac, you could try HoudahGeo or GeoPhoto. The other alternative is software, and you’ll need to use this anyway if you use a third party GPS box as mentioned above. The best part is that it requires no drivers: the Amod mounts as a USB drive, so it’ll work with any computer. The $100 (list price) logger writes all data to a standard NMEA file, which is essentially a text file formatted for GPS software. The Amod AG元080 GPS Data Logger (we know, horrible name) comes recommended by many because if its simplicity.

If its clock is in sync with your camera’s clock, then software can later work out where you were when you took a picture and write it to the photo. One option is to use a standalone GPS logger, a device which updates your position information at intervals and logs it to a file. Altek, anyone? Canon promises geotagging support in upcoming models, and Nikon’s D3 and D300 let you hook a GPS unit up to the camera body via cable, but this is messy. Cameras with built in GPS are coming soon, although surprisingly they are from no-name brands.
