If you have a GPS that can write to your computer- and a digi-cam with
exif info- then you're in business;

Yep, that had crossed my mind before, and I do want to get a nice GPS unit
sometime anyway, I suppose. I spent around $1000 on the camera when it was
new (several years ago now), and prices have dropped so much since that
I'm surprised there isn't built-in GPS on the high-end consumer-grade
cameras now (although I think there might be on some of the "professional"
models for even more money).

Maybe I'm in a minority in thinking it's one of those features that'd be
useful... :-)

http://www.earlyinnovations.com/gpsphotolinker/ "GPSPhotoLinker adds GPS
position and location data to your photos. The latitude and longitude
recorded by your GPS unit are linked and saved to your photos.
GPSPhotoLinker automatically enters the city, state and country into the
metadata."

Sure... I'm on Linux rather than OSX, but I think I've seen stuff in
the past that'll do the job there (and if not I'm sure I can throw
together a suitable script to do it!).

I like to keep a record, since we travel a lot and it's not easy to
remember where you took each picture. I used to have my wife keep a
log, but that didn't work too well.

Now I just find a sign or something that identifies the place, and take
a quick picture of that. Since the pictures are in order, I know the
picture after the ID picture is whatever it says on the ID. Sometimes,
I just shoot a picture of a brochure or menu, anything that has the name
on it.
